I feel SO dumb right now 😭
I was watching a counterstrike video (I don’t play CS) and the youtuber said “…who is one of the best North America players…” while a statistics page showed kill/death, win/loss, etc. But it also showed “NA”. This along with the verbal “North America” was enough for the very lazy neurons in my brain finally make a basic connection that those two things are connected. I always assumed it just meant “somewhere we don’t have an abbreviation for” or “location private” or something.
“Not applicable” is typically abbreviated n/a or N/A but I guess reading it aloud would sound the same as NA
