Stupid TouristsWhat's the stupidest thing you've ever heard a tourist say? Ever heard an American talking about visiting "Scotchland, England", or (and this one is actually real) a Japanese couple talking about the correct way to say Clapham is actually Clatham, as "ph" sounds are pronounced "th". Which has a certain logic really. UPDATE: Please, no more Loogabarooga stories. It's getting like, "and I opened my eyes and my mum had left me a cup of tea!"

re: writerblockYou may very well be able to speak English, but you sure as hell can't spell Cincinnati.
If you're going to make a reference to my favorite baseball team, next time try and get the spelling right.
Also, I'd advise many of you never to venture into Ohio, or much of the midwest for that matter. Your smug sense of superiority might begin to vanish as you try and pronounce names like Olentangy, Versailles, Chillicothe, Kinnikinnick, Cuyahoga, or Allegheny.
