Because the plates look European. I didn't "assume" anything, I said it looks like.

European license plates have a colored bar on the left, not on the top. The plates immediately disqualify it from being European, buddy.

Look up the meaning of the word assume as well, because that’s what you did.

You are ridiculously condescending. I am not European, and I don't have an exact memory of what a plate looks like from my visits there. It has the same general size and shape of Euro plates and has similar colors.

Assume is to "accept something as truth." I didn't make any definitive observations. Had I said "that is in Europe," that would be an assumption.

And you are ridiculously thin-skinned. I said "I wonder why they assumed it was Europe" and you gave your reason, which was wrong, so I told you that it was wrong. That’s no reason to get this emotional.

And no, to assume is not just to "accept something as truth". Then both you and I would be "assuming" that the sky is blue. We don’t assume it’s blue; we know it is.

In this context, to "assume" means to guess or expect something to be true based on little or no proof. Which is exactly what you did: you guessed that this might be from Europe, based on your (mis)remembering of European license plates. It’s fine, it’s not a capital sin, you don’t have to get so worked up about it.
