Just in case you missed it... the irony is that you are sounding a lot like your definition of an "ignorant" American. This is no upside to this discussion. The Americans are culturally dominant worldwide. Around the world people have a general knowledge of America through the various media (film, television, literature, etc.). America is the great cultural exporter (some would argue cultural imperialist but that's another discussion). English Canada, as an English speaking nation on the border is inundated with American media. Most of our knowledge of America comes from the media... don't kid yourself saying that you studied it in school (even if you did it is only a fraction of what you think you know about America). This forum is of interest only in pointing out that there is a cultural difference between the US and Canada. Beyond that it is just a bunch of whinning...
