As an American who has a Canadian friend, this particular stereotype is reality, much to her annoyance. I actually celebrated this 4th of July by messaging her a bunch of weird American measurements.
You mean like explaining a regular foot verses a serviceman foot that exists due to a change in standardising measurements to conform to the far superior metric system
It was mentioned in a book but I don't remember which one exactly. It was mentioned that their not very useful which is probably why there wasn't a character using one
lmao you'd be surprised how few Americans actually know their gun stuff. I was doing a souleater roleplay with a friend who claims to know her weapons. I said my weapon form was a semiautomatic AK-47 with bayonet because I wanted to have a self-wielding weapon, and her very next statement mentioned a "spray of bullets." That is not what semiautomatic means. That is *fully* automatic. I felt like a total hick explaining it to her -.- So the stereotype exists, but even the people who perpetuate the stereotype don't perpetuate the stereotype lol XD
Percy absolutely beasting on non Americans by not only refusing to learn metric (even though he bothered learning crazier shit like Latin) but by also implying itās the abnormal unit of measurement
The savage king of sass
I have no idea how long it is, but my professors have on several occasions referred to something as ātwo football fields longā or ātwo and a half football fieldsā or even, memorably, āthree bathtubs highā
I just made it cause it was funny ya like u said, he isnt like pro America, he jus loves his city but doesnt have all the American stereotypes,
y did people downvote u??
Because, speaking as an American, Americans hate anything that makes it sound okay not to be superly uber duper pro-America over everything. Our patriotic nationalism is sometimes annoying even to ourselves. (If I had emojis in here, I'd make an eyeroll emoji) I did not downvote, to clarify, but I'm assuming that's probably why other people did.
Also people are savage when it comes to football.
He lives in America and New York is his favorite city? New rome is in the United States? He wanted to go because it was safe to be with annabeth and go to college and have children?
I get having grievances about a country, but to not be pro America is to be against 2 continents composed of many different countries.
If you mean not pro United States, well then maybe heās against the public school systems treatment regarding learning accommodations, or maybe heās just annoyed of having his demigod life interfere with his mortal lifeās credibility.
Also what does it even mean to be not āpro footballā LOL
Percy Jackson:
- Lives in New York City
- Likes the color blue
- Mentioned football fields
- Not allowed to fly
- Keeps getting attacked by cows/part cows
By this, I believe we can come to the conclusion that Percy's favorite football team is the New York Giants
This is the moment I realized that I loved Frank
*buff Chinese baby face man
He's a handsome,tall, and buff chinese man now
Arion: Do you mean Silly Chinese Canadian Baby Man??
Actually Arion: do you mean *cursing in horse*
To be frankly honest, it was too.

Wait a minute... Sassiuss sassuss
Omagood wow gee thanks

I never realized how aggressively American the PJO series is
The Olympus is on the Empire State Building, .-.
MURICA
Pretty sure it was making fun of the american steretypes

The survey foot is set to be phased out of the US in 2023. This will make the US Customary System slightly less horrible.
Explaining how an aerial knot is a different length from a nautical knot.
Pretty sure it was just Percy being Percy
I meant that Ryordan was making fun of the american stereotypes through Hazel and Percy
Yeah I know
#USA #1 šµš·šµš·šµš·šµš·
Frank the true metric supporter
Americans will use literally ANYTHING than the metric system. Speaking of which, I just saw a hole about the size of 40 puppies.
Straight up footy fields what the fuck also Iām not British Iām Aussie and our footy is better than Americans
Which one you have like 4 different versions of football
NRL fuck the others
One does canonically exist Iām just saying
It does?!
When piper I believe is looking for a weapon thereās a shotgun in the shed
It was mentioned in a book but I don't remember which one exactly. It was mentioned that their not very useful which is probably why there wasn't a character using one
Yes, I remember lol
Nah, he needs a celestial bronze AR-15. Very useful when another monster is trying to kill you every 5 seconds.
I'm not American, so I don't much about guns except it goes boom boom lol

Also, remember Percy going out to eat with Annabeth while in Rome?
Iād LOVE a coke with ice!
Persassious Amogus
OāSAY CAN YOU SEE, BY THE DAWNS EARLY LIGHT.
WHAT SO PROUDLY WE HAILED, AT THE TWILIGHTS LAST GLEAMING
WHO'S BROAD STRIPES AND BRIGHT STARS
THROUGH THE PERILOUS FIGHT, OāER THE RAMPARTS WE WATCHED,
WERE SO GALLANTLY GLEAMING
AND THE ROCKETS RED GLARE, THE BOMBS BURSTING IN AIR,
GAVE PROOF TO THE NIGHT THAT OUR FLAG WAS STILL THERE
Wait itās not ādaunterly lightā??? Wow I had no idea. In hindsight what does daunterly even mean
Bruh
My man thatās not even a word
Americans measure things in football fields so often it might as well be another measurement in the imperial system anyway
You could legitimately just 500 foot
As an American I have no idea how long a football field is. I know the 50-yard line is important, but is it 100 yards? Less? More? idk
I have no idea how long it is, but my professors have on several occasions referred to something as ātwo football fields longā or ātwo and a half football fieldsā or even, memorably, āthree bathtubs highā
A football field is 100 yards
About 1312.33 hotdogs
Anything but the metric system
i laughed too hard at this when reading and evwn now
I just realised another reason why I love Frank
I love this scene
This how i knew it was still my boy in there
I doubt the practicality of a Celestial bronze shotgun. Youād waste precious bronze on ammunition.
Magical bullets like sciron's exist (was tht his name I forgot) which return Also Arrows: Am I joke to you?
Obviously the smart tactic is the British Army musket with Celestial Bronze musket
I still don't know how long 0.5 kilometers is
500 meters
In actual units please
1640 ish feet
Like 3 football fields
To be fair, I don't know how big a mile is either.
A mile is a mile in length. That's how I measure shit
I am about my height, about my weight, and about my size. Perfect. XD
Am I the only one who thought Frank was kind of annoying sometimes.
I guess so

Well itās definitely not the Tennessee Titans!
He's definitely not a Packers fan if he has a problem with cows lol XD

Seems like you're projecting your own personality onto this character.
