Ah, so that's how...why didn't I find this sooner?

Oh. I hardly noticed the date. I never saw many people celebrating. It's a little strange how people seem to celebrate occasions like Mother's Day more than the Fourth of July, even though anybody who isn't an American wouldn't have much reason to.

Oh, well. Happy Fourth of July to anybody

Soo... What's the Fourth of July? And American, for that matter. I've heard of neither in my own world. Is it from another country?

[doctor_ds]

Oh! The United States of America is the country I come from. You wouldn't have heard of it yet--I bet anybody just finding the land is over a thousand years in the future. The Fourth of July is a holiday celebrating the establishment and independence of America, so there's a lot of national pride involved in it.

I keep forgetting so many of these things are far off in my future. Well, assuming they occur in my world at all given the differences.

Er.

Happy Fourth of July to you!

It's no problem. In my post alone I assumed everyone knew what the Fourth of July was, and with the diversity in Econtra that's definitely not the case! Assumptions make things easier when you think, even though they might not always hold true.
