I wonder how the students in New York, DC or LA do in this test.
I have been hearing this story for 50 years. "US Americans" always
seem to suck on the citizenship test.

I've seen several street interviews who question passersby about things
like
geography. Some of their answers to simple questions are hilarious! And,
these were mostly adults.

FYI, it's "WE Americans" unless you were talking about U. S. American's
vs.
Americans north or south of the border. Sorry, I'll put my grammer hat
back
in the corner.

No I meant U.S. Americans, sorry about the lapse in punctuation Miss
Plume ;-)
I did think Miss SC was correct when she used that appelation.



Heh... I've been told to not do this sort of thing..


Ever been to Oklahoma?

I have, but not for many years.

One of my newspaper buddies was offered a hell of a promotion to take a
job with the Tulsa paper, and I used to visit him a couple times a year.
It was a long drive, and other than to catch up with my buddy, not
worth it. Backwards would have been a kind way to describe it...it was
sort of the South Carolina of the southwest. Apparently it still is.

Friend lasted about years there, and then hopped over to the St. Louis
P-D. Much more better in those days.

I'm not good in the mid-west. I have terrible alergies to pollen.
