Dutch -> Danish is another one

c'mon! in 2001, in NYC, a guy asked me about my country.

- I'm italian

+ woooo lovely and nice! Italy.

where's Italy... in France, right.

aka: in 2001 some people in the BigApple, thought France and EUROPE were the same 🤣🤣

Don't. Took my girl to London, get back and everyone's like "wow did ya see the Eiffel Tower?"

What idiots, the Eiffel Tower is in Italy, obviously

Those are the same and everyone living there calls it "Deutschland" right?

But they are!

Don’t assume we know the difference between anything that is not American. We are complete fucking retards.

But Taiwan and Thailand are still the same place, right?

That's rich coming from an Austrian

Don’t even get me started on Swaziland…

Idk any Americans that don't know the difference, but the word for both in Turkish is so incredibly close that I assume the people who turkicized the names didn't know the difference and only later we had to differentiate them.

Australia and Austria is another one
