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!"

First Post Many Corrections
I've been coming to b3ta for about two years but never bothered to post anything. I was reading this board and need to state a few facts.
Most Americans you encounter are from the south and midwest. We in NY or "normals" as I like to say can't stand them either.
It is not acceptable here to pronounce worcestershire wrong either.
Pay much attention to Blue/Red States....Red states are "wankers" who voted for Bush
