The customer gets what the customer wants.

I've tried countless times to convince them to just use the browser locale, but most of them somehow keep insisting on using geolocation...

This kind of censorship makes browsing the web with a screenreader way harder than it needs to be.
Lately I've been working on adding ARIA functionality a lot of websites and thus used screenreaders to check if everything is in order. Adding asterisks in a word switches the TTS mode from reading to spelling in a lot of instances.

My grandfather came from Poland and was a pow in Germany.

Americans can always be trusted to do the right thing, once all other possibilities have been exhausted.

This account from 1946 says

Canada, of its own free will, entered the war in September 1939 because it then realized that Nazi Germany threatened the very existence of Western civilization.

Good point, actually.

Canada declared war on Germany in 1939, because it was the right thing to do.

The USA declared war on Japan two years later, the day after Pearl Harbor. Soon after, Germany and Italy declared war on the USA.

They didn't mention it in the post I reacted to.
But both of your suggestions are excellent solutions to the problem.
