I'm not the only one that tought exactly the same, at least.

Friendly tip: You need to look at the different uses of "since" and "for" in English.

Yeah, thanks. I know the difference in theory, but reliably mess it up. If more people were to call me on it like you did, it would probably be fixed by now. My American wife never tells me these things and just confirms it when someone else is so nice to point is out. :(

> I live in the US since 8 years and still misunderstood it.

in particular it's hard to tell whether you mean 'since I were eight years old' vs 'for a span of eight years'

also, a native speaker would probably use tense such as "I have lived", so casually, "I've lived in the US for 8 years and still misunderstood it."

and noone ever uses whom, but you probably used it correctly

ps you typoed 'possibly be' and 'it'

"no one" is two words, though, confusingly, for all intents and purposes it's a single unit, grammatically.

Exactly. ignorance of politics backfires both ways.

That was my thought as well.
