To Be Fair India Is Called Indo In Japanese

Someone tries explaining that Java and JavaScript are different by comparing them to India and Indonesia. Then someone else asks if India and Indonesia are different. Which, yeah, they are. Two completely separate countries on different continents. But the person clearly missed geography class the same day they missed the "Java is to JavaScript what Car is to Carpet" lecture. The beautiful irony here is using an analogy to clarify confusion, only to create more confusion. It's like explaining recursion by using recursion as an example.
