Hence why I said "on the outskirts of India" - Columbus believed he was roughly in Indonesia, which is why he kept sailing west on later expeditions (running up against the mainland Central and South America in the process) in the hopes of hitting India.
He should have gone through the Panama Canal and kept going!
It was the GPS fault!
^^^ How to say "you didn't fully read my post" without saying "you fully didn't read my post".
Side note: He was trying to finance the end of the world.
Bruh, my response was pointing out that my explanation was sound - I specifically said, in my original comment, "outskirts of India" and "route to India", which is what I emphasized, rather than literally finding or being in India.
I'm sorry that you didn't read my original comment closely before responding.
I was saying it amicably while also admitting I didn't fully read your comment. Not blue on blue here. :)
