No, I'm pointing out an association seen all across the internet unfortunately. This one was just the final straw for me. Any time someone wants to back-handedly disparage someone's intellect, they love to use words like 'gubment' or some variation. FWIW, I also take issue with the usage of 'Murica' as well as a blanket indicator. You are calling into question a person's intellect when using terminology like that and claiming otherwise is being dishonest to either yourself or everyone else. That being said, I fully understand that some people do actually speak like that due to regional dialects and documenting that in text is fine if that is your actual intent.
