So this may be straying a bit off-topic, but I wanted to respond to a rather ignorant edit made on this page that fortunately got undone.

A user added this as trivia:

"On the back of the Jawbreaker package, the word 'Slovak' has two dots over the O. This could prove that the jawbreakers there could have been from Russia or another foreign country."

1) The "two dots over the o" is called a trema. 2) The Russian language is not known for using tremas – tremas aren't commonly found in the Cyrillic alphabet. A language in which tremas can be found is German. 3) As Jspyster1 said when he undid the edit, hasn't this user ever heard of Slovakia? It's a nation in Eastern Europe. "Slovak" and "Slovakian" are demonyms for people from Slovakia. 4) The user said "Russia or some other foreign country". This is an online encyclopedia; and the Internet isn't just in a single nation. There may be users who come here who reside in Russia, and for them it isn't a foreign country, rendering this statement un-includable. Putting Russia in a broader category of "foreign country" assumes that everyone who will read the statement does not reside in Russia.

Sorry for venting about this edit.
