"American"

But also used in Canada, UK, Australia, and much of Northern/Western Europe.

Earliest uses of the 5 bar gate can be found on prehistoric bones dating back 30,000 years and found on the continent of Africa.

But sure, "American".

"Japanese"

It's a chinese character, imported from china, used as a tally in chinese.

But sure, "Japanese".

Hey, I didn't want to speak for other cultures. I don't know how many other countries also use this style of tally marks. But I know America does.

That's fair... We just get tired of American appropriation out here.

You can appreciate how often, on a daily basis, we see someone from the US claim ownership over something that belongs to someone else... Whether that's physical or cultural.

That’s a very American comment you just made
