It is a quite a joke. I remember in high school (in Cleveland) we had to take the 'Ohio Proficiency Test' and a question was a picture of four flags, Ohio, USA, Italy and Japan. You had to pick out the Ohio flag... It was one of the top ten most missed answers on the test. Kids are getting ****ing dumber and dumber.

The difference is, people know they don't know how to spell "Albuquerque," but they don't know that they don't know how to spell "Pittsburgh."
