Done Ugh, Instagram. Thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:07, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! Do you prefer changing US in first paragraph to 'United States' or 'American' to avoid acronyms? Gryllida (talk) 05:18, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

I'm an "American" guy, personally. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:47, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
