Pre-Conceived Notions and Misconceptions

I'm pretty sure my tutor thinks that American "states" are just like European "states" in the sense that they're soveriegn, only voluntarily banding together as a union.

Also, a lot of people here think that we refer to our language as "American" instead of "English"


....These are just two of so many misconceptions I've encountered while I've been in England. Don't even get me started on the things they think about Kansas.

Then again, we're just as bad. Americans all claim that English people have bad teeth, when in fact the majority of them have very nice, straight teeth, thanks to their wonderful health care system. Also, they don't have tea and scones everyday at 4.
