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.
NA engines, ie “NA v8”, doesnt mean “north american v8”, but “naturally aspirated v8”.
NA beers, ie “NA Budweiser”, doesnt mean “north american budweiser”, but “non-alcoholic budweiser”.
And IIRC FI for Forced Induction?
