I think what TheHighlandTiger is trying to say is that America is famous world over for not knowing where anywhere is, including a survey that said US students couldn’t identify places in the US.

Having said this it is the individual personal knowledge anything like this is based on not a country, surveys ain’t worth a quid.

Wait a minute….isn’t it right between Springfield and Shelbyville? No…the other Springfield.

Actually, nearly a third of Caddo Lake is in Texas. There is also Caddo Lake State Park, a Texas State Park. It is a beautiful place, and has a quiet feeling of mystery about it. I live about 40 miles west of there.

Kind of funny, actually.

I’m not sure that Americans are the world’s most ignorant people. (Not just on geography.) But we act like it so often that I have to feel like we’re in the running.

I’d bet even money on a substantial portion of 100 Americans putting Iraq in Central Africa. And here we are guffawing at a “Hicksville isn’t 234 miles east of Skaggsville, it’s 233″ – grade mistake, by comparison.

I’m gonna found a Shreveport, Mississippi, though, if someone doesn’t beat me to it. It SOUNDS like it belongs there.

Now, that having been said: The Sunday Times missing this? Oy.

A British newspaper report on, I think, roller coasters identified the mid-Pennsylvania amusement park Knobel’s Grove as being in New York. The park is about 125 miles from the nearest border with New York. The distance was comparable to that from London to Cardiff, Wales. And this was being reported by a reporter in the field, who had presumably travelled to the park, apparently not noticing the “Welcome to Pennsylvania” signs two hours earlier.

Miss Teen South Carolina was right. We need more maps.

Fhqwhgads:

That was funny. Even I admit that.

TheHighlandTiger does make a good point as well. People THE WORLD OVER tend to have bad knowledge of geography, not just the U.S.A. So we’re no more “ignorant” than the rest of the world.

Well, some posters on Cryptomundo have maintained that Bigfoot is from a different “dimension”. Maybe in that “dimension” there is a Shreveport, Mississippi. It would explain a lot.

Looks like our knowledge of the geography of the US is as good as your average americans knowledge of world geography……LOL
