No, I did not say that. I said most European states are very young by comparison. And I made it very clear that this is not the same as saying that the country is very young. The American state is very old; the country is very young. Read more carefully next time.
Edit: While I’m not going to smear an entire country’s education system based on the reading comprehension of one person, I do think that your accusation of “American exceptionalism” does get frighteningly close to (or is) an example of reactionary “nobody is special-ism”. Every country has interesting history tidbits and is special in its own way and I don’t think dismissing things with the thought-terminating label of “American exceptionalism” is particularly fair.
Well it’s true English is not my native language so we could miss some intricate details of your message. But please, don’t enter into the education system discussion. For your sake :)

Certainly a display of American exceptionalism, and education.

Lol. You’re the one changing the meaning of words and applying unfounded nuance to a Xitter comment by someone who is most likely an idiot.
But please do continue grandstanding on that hill.

My native language is Cantonese. Take that what you will.
