    Honestly, the way they’re speaking. I’m fine with them calling it “american”.

    I’m not a native English speaker, but I’ve always been confused by breaking up sentences like this. My understanding is that if one sentence doesn’t make senses on its own, it shouldn’t be standalone, but rather an introductory to the other one.

      It’s supposed to be a comma, an Oxford comma to be precise. But punctuation and comma are right next to eachother on my phone so, mistakes happen.
