And Argentinians, and Venezuelans, and Nigerians, and the Salvadorian government...

There's flyover country, there's flyover countries, and ignoring the masses that make that up is equal parts condescending and ignorant.

No significant number of people in any of those use it.

El Salvador's wannabe dictator is pretty keen on it, though.

Define "no significant number."

And we aren't going to get anywhere in this discussion if your only rebuttal is "the leader of a country using it voluntarily is a dictator so that settles it." Do you have a rebuttal to my point at all?
