It doesn't matter how much I like it to be true, but unfortuntely, it's not just an American thing. People in general are ill-informed. You wouldn't believe how much urban legends are believed to be true and how much info is misconstrued.
Examples: 1) You've just been knighted by Queen Elizabeth. She takes away the sword. What does she say afterwards? 2) What are lemmings known for? 3) What form are raindrops? 4) What do dolphins drink?

It's the English language Wikipedia. The fact that one side of the pond spends its time reading Pokemon and porn doesn't mean we who drive on the correct side don't use it to look up something meaningful...
