Lucky you; I travelled up and down the Pacific coast quite a few times in the early '60s. And I thought Seattle one of the nicest parts of the world. Only slightly eclipsed by Vancouver, BC (the extra attraction of a pretty girl).

You consider New York a little city? OMG | :OMG:

If COVID-19 and your president continue as they are in NY, then it's going to have a pretty small population soon ... :GloomyPrognosisSmiley:

So you don't have a president where you live?

The Scandinavian countries and GB still have kings, and a few more, mostly outside the Western countries.

But I must admit: I had to look up the name of your president. And honestly, the name didn't ring that many bells. I hope that you do not have to look it up, though.

In Spain there are both, president and king.
In Germany only president.

But, if you see the "subthread":
- I asked if New York is for him a little city
- He answered that if it virus and my president continue like that it will
- I think he confused me with the OP, so I make the joke of giving coffee and asking "since when am I a US-Citizen?" because I am not and he knows it (or I thought he knew), and nothing that my president (spanish or german) does will have that big effect in the end size of new york.

I just wanted to point out that you both made the same mistake:
He assumed you were American
You assumed that he by "president" assumed the US president.

I am quite sure that he did, but he didn't say so, and you were jut as preconcieved about the nationality of the president as he was about the nationality of Nelek.

The central point of the topic was New York, so yes. I assumed we were still speaking about it and hence the US-President.

If it wasn't like that, then my non native speaker status has played with me because I didn't understand it correctly Smile | :)

There was a US "spokesperson" on BBC Breakfast News on Friday looking really quite proud as he boasted "The US leads the world in Covid-19 infections".

Let's hope not. Sigh | :sigh:
