Hey Jouan.... I expect your English is a lot better than my chinese, so ill just type this in English. I should really make some effort to learn Tradition Chinese some day, it takes me about 3 times longer to read it than simplified. Interesting to hear the Taiwanese perspective. I used to live in Xiamen, that place is full of your bretherin, so I'm familiar with some of the differences; like 垃圾le se. 熊猫 -猫熊（Do you guys really say that?)..... I think some places in China also use 葡萄柚 instead of 西柚, as well. That's the first time anyone has ever told me my anything is 'on point', maybe i should hang out with more Americans, it felt pretty good.

OMG the first thing that jumps up to my mind when I read your essay is "Damn this dude's Chinese skill is on point!" I don't know if you're able to read Traditional Chinese though? 其實聽你這麼一說我才發覺蠻多中國人會這樣說話的。我是台灣人，目前在美國唸書。說真的，我在台灣很少聽到一次概括整個族群的用法，但在美國常常聽到我中國的朋友會這樣講，只不過是變成“國內....“ 。 我認為，可能是淺意識地認為”噢我知道很多人都這樣，所以我認為事實就是這樣“ 因而形成這種口語慣用法吧！ 另，在台灣Pamelo是指柚子aka文旦，而Grapefruit是葡萄柚。台灣有些詞彙跟中國會用的不一樣，但我不確定中國有沒有地方也是跟台灣用一樣的說法？不過至少我在台灣沒有聽過有人說“西柚”就是了。

哈哈哈哈！这个现象的确很有意思。 我觉得你的语感是对的，如果别人回复”我们....都说......"，听起来不太舒服。 不过很多人说话并不太注意用词，并没有恶意。
