WhatsApp seems to be something only foreigners and drug dealers use in my experience. What's the appeal?
'Foreigners' to where? The US?
I don't use WhatsApp at all, but it irks me when 'foreigner' is used on the internet as if 'we' are all in a single country.
You're a foreigner to me.
Yes. I am a foreigner to you. I'm saying, people who emigrate here seem to use it. I'm sorry I didn't type out "people who emigrate here" and used a shorthand term, hopefully someday you can forgive me.
Where is here? You never said where you're talking about.
It's okay, you'll get over not having the answer to where a stranger lives on a thread that's a week old.
