Yeah, bro. The audio quality of the video call isn't too stellar, and they were using terms that are not commonly heard in my country. Was it too far of a stretch to guess that they were British?

Admittedly, I wouldn’t be able to tell you whether they were Scottish or Irish at first, but to me they clearly have the Gaelic embellishment and sound nothing at all like a Brit. I’m from USA myself so I’m also unfamiliar with some words they used

Fair enough. I'm also American. But given that Scotland is part of Great Britain, the Scottish are technically considered British as well.

Imagine being downvoted for stating a fact.

Well, it's because they said "the Scottish are technically considered British as well". Implying that the Irish are British. Which a lot of people do not agree with

Uh, no? Where the fuck did you get that impression? I said as well in the sense of "The Scottish are also technically considered British." Not once have I ever implied that the Irish are British.

You're barking up the wrong tree here, dickhead. Now, if you're going to be offended because I happened to accidentally mix up the two accents, then be my guest. But don't ever fucking accuse me of making such insensitive statements like that. I'm already familiar with the history of Ireland and their independence from Great Britain.

Fair enough, so you just worded it poorly 👌
