From the stats I can find, it's pretty close to a 50/50 split in the US for IOS/Android; IOS slightly ahead.

Mexican is a nationality, not a race.

Are there universal words, and what are they?

Have you heard of Cockney rhyming slang? Take a word like "fart", use a two part word that rhymes with it, like "raspberry tart", then drop the rhyming part. That leaves you with "raspberry" meaning "fart" and no discernible connection to the old words this utterance/meaning pair came from.
So that's where "blowing raspberries" came from? Pretty neat.

did anyone else from the USA grow up being forced to say the pledge to the flag in school?
We said the pledge in the mornings in elementary school in the 80s. I don't believe it was held in middle or high school. I never thought twice about it and I don't think any of the other kids did either. Can't remember any issues arising over it then. I couldn't really care less about whether or not schools continued to hold it now.

What was your first PC game ever, and how did you react to it?
The first game I played on PC that I can remember was probably Word Munchers or Oregon Trail in elementary school in the late 80s.

Kinda sounds like Marble Madness that I used to play a lot on NES. Found Switchball by searching for games similar to Ballance. Is that it?

You just won One Billion Dollars, what are you buying?
I'd do all the things that most people would do. Pay off debts, help out family/friends, invest, donate, etc.
Other than that, I'd buy a castle. Something like this. Living in such an old place like that with all the history associated with it seems really cool to me.
