I'm no native English speaker but at least in my experience average is used to mean any "central tendency", and not the mean in particular. We probably should just avoid saying "average" and use "mean", "mode",…
That's an unrelated question isn't it? Of course a country can default on it's debts if they so choose. I'm just describing the nature of the debt, and pointing out why countries' debts don't "cancel each other out"…
> each country can either: a) mutually agree to cancel all debt Sovereign debt doesn't mean that countries owe money to each other. Most of the debt is owed to private investors (banks, funds, etc).
Sure the design is different, but the risk that the "first couple of times people usually fall off. Instant lawsuit overe there, I'm sure" looks the same to me. And yet t-bars and the like do exist in the US.

In my case, my opinion is based on: - All (newish) thinkpads having spill-resistant keyboards. - The best-selling ones (X & T series) meeting the Mil-SPEC 810G standard. I use a Mac though, because I got tired of…
Waking up at 5 am doesn't imply sleeping any less (just going to bed earlier). In the similar way, taking a nap doesn't mean that you sleep more, just that you schedule your sleep differently.
We are not talking about self-applied labels, since parent explicitly says "are referred to as". So I think it is a very valid point to wonder why some regions came to be referred to (in american english) as latin…
As a side note, most of Spain itself is in the Western Hemisphere.
I wonder what the argument of the people who downvoted you would be?
