Whereas the Italians would be a different story, for example.  And the cucumbers issue is similar to the French and champagne.  Interesting though.  Yep, I've been polling the Americans I know.  Woeful.  Virtually all have grad degrees, and they're woefully ignorant here.  Btw, looking at your user page I see (and share with you) the outrage about people who don't know or follow rules (grammar, in this case).  But it is precisely this ignorance that you have noticed that pervades all manner of issues.  I'm just trying to protect the ignorant masses.  (At no cost).  What's so wrong about that?  00:56
