@jt_rebelo @buherator @0xabad1dea Government means different things in the US (all institutions and basically all civil servants) than in Europe (the coalition of ruling parties, including. heads of ministries, maybe).
@Squig @jt_rebelo @buherator @0xabad1dea because of how often this happens in Italy, we usually learn relatively quickly to differentiate between Government, members of Parliament, senate, chamber, and other generic state employees
@xfranky @jt_rebelo @buherator @0xabad1dea I think it really is a different meaning for the same word, so a question of vocabulary, sort of how 'liberal' means something else across both sides of the ponds (and then completely different in Australia again).
@Squig @jt_rebelo @buherator @0xabad1dea that makes sense
