You must remember that the majority of Americans have never been abroad.
They probably know there is a Spain but couldn’t find it on a map. The American media doesn’t speak much about Europe, or the rest of the world. The issues facing the “EU” are of absolutely no interest to most Americans. Polls show that most Americans have a negative feeling toward the UN.
Most Americans don’t know that a cookie is a Biscuit, a truck is a Lorry, potato chips are Crisps, vacation is a holiday, trunk is a boot, hood is a bonnet, diaper is a nappy, doctors office is surgery, thick sausage is a banger etc.
IMO this is the best country in the world, but we are a little out of touch with other cultures.
Cheers!
