Usa questions creeping in?

I am on yahoo uk and ireland Answers and have it set at uk and ireland questions only yet seem to be noticing usa question from people in the states either they haven't realised they are on the same site or yahoo is going wonky .oh and if you are in the usa you can see this question as you have settings at read all english questions it on the main answer page half down on left if anyone wants to change it.


Anyone noticing this or is it just me?

Usa questions creeping in?
I notice it too. Its weird because i'm from the USA and people from the UK and Canada ask me things and my settigns ar eto USA only.
Reply:i thought we were a wee sub state of the usa anyway!
Reply:I hadn't realised Americans were creeping in but you are right. Maybe they think THEY are part of the UK or they think that UK stands for USA Kingdom.


I think you should head an investigation as to why it is happening.
Reply:Typical yanks, poking their noses into affairs of other countries.
Reply:I live in the good old USA %26amp; I think your questions are sneaking in on our sites!!!! I have been on here since Nov and it has always been this way and my settings are correct!! There have been some questions in some language that we really can not read. Oh well this is yahoo and yahoo does have a few problems!!!!
Reply:Maybe its your computer/yahoo answers telling you on a level you should be a citizen of the greatest country in the world USA USA USA ;)
Reply:It happens a lot. I've been doing Answers for 10 months now and I have noticed this a lot. I guess the Americans just think people in Good Old Blighty and the Emerald Isle give good answers.
Reply:This happens here on the other side of the pond as well. I see lots of obviously non-U.S. questions in the U.S. section, some of which aren't even in English.





I think sometimes it's a little of both -- this site has gone crazy at times, with things popping up where they shouldn't, as well as people not understanding the interface.





Oh, and don't worry, I'm set on all English questions right now, your answer hasn't crept in anywhere else.
Reply:That's funny, I think UK questions are creeping voertothe US site.
Reply:dont use such big words they are americans remember
Reply:i am in the US and have also purposely set my setting to UK/Ireland only. this is the only chance for culture i can get, so please don't be mad that i am here!





i also assume most here are from the UK, and therefore i do avoid questions which obviously will not pertain to me.
