I was working as the Helpdesk Administrator at the University of Southern Mississippi....
When two girls come in, one of them needing her email password reset. Theres noone else about whos not on a call so I dutifully walk over to the counter to assist.

"I love your accent! Where are you from?" One of the girls asks me.

"Thanks! I'm from England." I reply.

"Do they speak English there?" She asks, perfectly sincerely...

I look at her like shes out of her tiny mind, and say "Yesss".

"So you didn't have to learn another Language or anything, thats good!"

"Yesssssss..."

God bless American college students.

Oh, and then there was the lady who thought England was the little island up near Boston, Massachusets.. you know, up by the coast of Canada...

I love the USA. :)
