When I was in grad school I tended bar with a fellow from Wales who was working on his Phd in Math at the same school. Since we had both played soccer at our undergrad schools and had the same tastes in beer and girls, we became good friends. One day he came in with the hiccups from laughing so hard. When queried, he told me it was the first day of a freshman pre-calc class that he was teaching and he had everyone do quick introductions. After the students gave their names and hometowns, he told them he was originally from Wales, etc. He asked the class if they had any questions before they got started... ...and an attractive young woman in the front complemented him on his English and asked if he learned it before or after coming to the USA from Wales...

A number of countries in your 'Europe' do not use the Euro (sadly in my opinion) in which case in what continent do you think the UK, Sweden et al are in?? We are all Europeans over here regardless of the currency we use. I don't understand why you have to feel that a continent is identified by its currency. Maybe it's the inherent capitalist nature of North America which make some people think like that or maybe is a simple misunderstanding of a strange land over the ocean... who knows. >> HEY! Don't lump all of us North Americans together. Some of us are actually educated, non-xenophobic, and ethnically and cultural diverse (and aren't afraid to say so!).
