    When filling out a form, why is Taiwan a “region”? Because companies are catering to China.

    taiwan is a country

    This is not in the US. I have checked 2 global providers, they sidestep the problem by labeling the dropdown “Country or region”.

    Why do we buy 3ft USB cables and not 1m USB cables? Because companies are catering to the US.

    Doesn’t this suggest the opposite? 1m is more generic than 3ft. And I just measured my USB cables and most of them are exactly 1m or slightly more, and not 91cm.

    I do agree with most of your points though, but I think you should take a deep breath every now and then and think what your point actually is and whether it’s coming across.
