oops, missed the point
If you want people to pay attention to you, then you act smarter than
them.
I think Mike is missing an opportunity to show that there are people
who think planetwise, (solarsystemwise, galacticwise...). I.e. 'organic'
concepts is present in many places on this planet. Taking considerations
of language and customs hammers home the point.
acting in a way that promotes stereotypes is dumb
