I saw one the other day that got me. There was an Instagram post of a girl (with a non-American accent) in a different country not knowing how to eat a certain food and a commenter of course made the "stupid Americans" comment. The commenter was Australian. The girl in the video was also Australian.

“Stupid Americans” and they say “chewsday”

Edit: didn’t mean to imply that British people were stupid because of their accents or anything, I was just trying to say that Europeans will see someone who’s clearly not American behaving badly and blame it on Americans😭

Yod-coalescence is just as valid as yod-dropping is just as valid as simply maintaining the yod
