In news of people are stupid, I barely stopped a woman from backing her car over a blind man tonight on the way home from work. Jesus.

in the "wouldn't Americans already know that?"
This.
BWAHAHAHAHAAHAH! Oh, that's good. I needed that.
Seriously, though, my mom told someone she was Canadian and got complimented on her english. The existence of provinces at all would be a stretch, let alone what they are or the numbers.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm pretty sure there are some Americans who don't know we have 50 states.

At my university we do an ESL test on Canadian graduate students to determine whether or not their English is good enough to teach class without further remediation.

Is our NBC doing something weird? The opening ceremony hasn't been on yet, and they're just talking to athletes and talking about the weather in Whistler today.
