This is a question Stupid Tourists

What'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!"

Yanks cant say Aboriginal names...
It’s amazing how Americans cannot pronounce Aboriginal names of places.
Goornong - pronounced 'goor-nong', turning into 'jeernong' or something similar/worse. There is another name they usually batter with their pronunciation pretty badly, but I cannot remember it, because it is another little country town. Could be just me, but they say 'Melbourne’ a little... unusually as well.


That is all.
