[OG_Gleep]

I personally don't expect anyone to know anything about the US that has never spent any time here. Most people tend to focus on the things that affect them personally. If you can name 12 states, you have a leg up on a lot of people living here.

I think most people would guess that the Euro has something to do with Europe. I know it because I follow the news, but have never delt with it, so had no clue what the currency exchange rate was (which was what I was asking).

Anyhow, the only thing I find absurd is judging a country of our size without any substantial basis for those judgements.
