I also have been confused with USAians from time to time and I
personally find that hard to take. The recent "W-S NC" assumption

I read about an [Inuk] hunter who asked the local missionary
priest: "If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to
hell?" "No," said the priest, "not if you did not know."
"Then why," asked the [Inuk], "did you tell me?"
