You know,   I hate to point out what I am about to say.  I am
sure other members are TOO POLITE  to do so.  But I can do it, because I am one of them:

EUROPEANS  believe that we Americans (I have DUAL citizenship) are a lot
of IGNORAMUS(es?).  Well, to be truthful, the "ugly American" picture is true, to a
certain extent.  But ignorant?  In the literal sense of the word - ILLITERATE - well, we are
just as educated as they are.  The countries in Europe are small.  By population count, one
may find that there is no difference between the two continents, by ratio, in formal learn-
ing or self-education.

Plus, I personally would much rather be considered well-mannered, courteous and
pleasant than a GENIUS, if those do exist in everyday life...........

Then, there are the British who still tend to think of the USA and CANADA as
"THE COLONIES"........
