Why are all the answers i get from americans?

whitney

probably because you are in yahoo USA you can change countries its at the bottom of the screen

San_Jose_408

put it in the question's additional details that your not from the states.

When you ask the questions maybe you should mention that you are not in the US. If you do then it is because many of us Americans are quite stupid.

Try to select your preferences to be more specific than English only. Americans make up more than 95% of this site.

kermit

You may want to specify that in your questions, then.

ROADRUNNER

Specify what country you are from in the question so we know you want a fellow countryman:-)

jay k

Then specifically say for example: British Citizens I need your help on a law question. I know it can be frustrating as different countries have different laws, but if you help specialize your question, you will have more relevant answers.

gromit801

Then say so in your questions!

Who's to know?

jjayferg

I think it would be a good idea to put the users flag of their country under the name of our avatar. There is room down there. By the way, I'm american too.

baby7k

I'm with the first guy. If you don't want americans to answer just type that in genius! its really not that complicated. So chill out and stop posting questions if you don't want americans to answer!!!!

Blunt Honesty

Because we have all the good answers. All of yours have a weird accent.

chmar11

lol. Sorry we just love answering questions. Maybe
you should state that you need help for your area and
we wouldn't answer (or at least not as much). :)

not_ez_2bme

why didnt you say it right away in the first place

B.Kevorkian

Americans do account for a large proportion of the Anglophone world, and an aweful lot of us are on-line.

What you can do to cut down on it is, if your question is relevant to your area, put the area in the question. Like "Whis is blah blah blah happening in Britain?"

Try to pick a time when all the lads aren't at the pub.

becuse yahoo is an international company they have webpages for other countries the UK has one uk.answers.yahoo.com/
france i think fr.answers.yahoo.com/

Niklaus Pfirsig

Because most people don't type with an accent. If you question pertains to something local or regional, such as a point of law, or location of stores and such, that should be included in the question.

Dead Fox

Um. I don't know what to say. I'm sorry?

If you aren't, specify what country you want answers from.

Oh and in the future when complaining about irrelevance, remember to actually ask a question.

Cockney Hustler

hi im english has this made you better

Popocatepetl

Well you should see a list of countries to log into, just change to the country yo u want to get some answers from.

Brite Tiger

Hi, I'm a Martian. What's your question. Take me to your leader. No wait, that's Tony Blair isn't it? Well never mind, I'll go visit the states, their leader is from outer space.

i am a non american i am from belfast.

amar_chaba

i am a brazilian of Indian origin with a Ph.D from a Canadian University.and I answer questions quite often.

Just me.

don't know ??

Rek T

Because when we go to our office, and sit down, we pretend to be working by answering questions here for 8 hours a day.

Or maybe it's just me.

khrome_wind

Some Americans don't live in the United States, so we aren't there either!

Perdendosi

It's because Americans don't realize that UK/AU/English Indian answers pop up on US Yahoo Answers if you have the "All English Questions" popup selected (vs. the "u.s. only" checkbox).

We're not very smart.

But if you don't want Americans answering
(a) Say "UK ONLY"
(b) Specifically tailor your question to a UK audience (i.e. mention UK-specific laws, or issues, or etc.)

BoomBoom

Set your yahoo answers up so you only get answers within your country...I can't tell you how to do it, but I am sure someone can...

meridocbrandybuck

Do you state in your question that you do not live in the United States? That might help weed out less relevant answers.

kapute2

what's your question relevant to your home?

Lavrenti Beria

In their attempt to unite the world in a Socialist Utopia the libs at Q&A have thrown us all together, that's why so many Indians post questions (that or they are paying us back for all the tech support calls they get).
