Comparatively few Americans have passports. But when you think of the size of their country, they can do everything there except enjoy the culture of others. And if they're not interested in that, why go outside America? Quite recently, I used the word 'tap' (as in water) to an American who didn't know what I meant. I'd forgotten that in USA it's a faucet. Yes, a tap is generally called a faucet - but what comes out of it is tap-water... Aaaagh! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon |
