in the United States who understand the concept of "Northern" and "Southern" hemispheres, I apologize, Australia.
And no, Australians do NOT celebrate Christmas in July, because "that's when it's winter there."

Oh, I had a co-worker once who asked me if it was summer in Europe when it is summer here (I used to lead bike tours in Europe and was talking about my trips). Same woman asked me if Amsterdam was a nice country. *sigh*

On the other hand, Australians do celebrate Kwanzaa in June.

Color me totally unsurprised. I firmly believe that we possess way more than our share of the dumbest fucks on the planet. I wonder how some people find their way home.

What are the odds this is a member of the famed 27% Republitards?
In most cultures being ignorant is something to be ashamed about, consequently people quickly learn to educate themselves or at least keep quiet. Not so in the I'm-stupid-for-Jesus-and-proud-of-it culture of the GOP.

Ah, well, Ambrose Bierce observed that war was God's way of teaching Americans geography.
We haven't yet declared war on Australia, so there's bound to be some confusion among the hoi polloi regarding its location....

A co-worker once told me about a lady from New Zealand she had met "who spoke really good English".....

Madame, the Australians are also glad you are not here in July, but for totally different reasons.
