Hi, Koir. Thanks!
Er…..What’s “a career choice”? This doesn’t seem to mean a job selection in this context.

Although being Canadian, I do have trouble imagining people preferring to hang their clothes out to dry in the sun when a dryer usually is fairly affordable for most people.

Thanks. This is what I wanted to know.
I never think you would look down on me due to the laundry.
I just didn’t know there were people who preferred to use a dryer.

But by no means does that mean I think all countries must believe the same thing.

I get it. I know you understand the difference between countries.

Confession: Though years ago, my family had a clothesline in the backyard where we hung out large items like blankets to dry, or shirts we didn't want shrinking in the heat of the dryer.

How do you dry the shirts now?

As for the post, there were a few revisions. Some were to correct minor typos and similar things.

“a Japanese TV news program”
“a balcony or a yard in which to hang things”
“We’ve always hung laundry outside, as we believe that using a dryer is a waste of electricity.
I see. Thanks.
Knowing which I should use present or past form is difficult.

Quite a lot of information, Yuri. I hope it is mostly understandable. Finally, you do not appear poor. It's helpful individuals such as you that provide the reason this forum was made, not to mention its continued success.
Have a great day, Yuri!

Sorry” I don’t understand what “not to mentions its continued success” means…
