Met a dude sophomore year of college. I told him the story of the dumbest person I had ever met up to that point and his response was “well.. that’s understandable though... up until last year I didn’t know the U.S. and the United States were the same thing”
We went to college in the U.S. and again this was our sophomore year. Dude was an 19 year-old full blooded American.
