Listen, for most of the Western world, I would say we’re not really taught the geography or details about what happens outside our own borders – and when it comes to the U.S., there are so many states, we really can’t even be bothered to learn about the ones that aren’t particularly interesting or nice to visit.
So, you can’t blame this British guy for his ill-informed takes on what goes on in the States. That said, you can laugh at them – though some of these 12 are more spot-on than he probably realizes.
12. Nevada.
This is a painfully accurate tweet.
To the best of my knowledge Nevada is famous for losing all your money in the desert.

11. New Hampshire.
This is the most British thing I’ve read today.
To the best of my knowledge New Hampshire is famous for being nothing like actual Hampshire.

Even though they already know the answer.

6. North Dakota
I mean, to be fair I don’t know why we need two.

Don’t tell The University.

You should definitely see it, though.

3. Oregon
Wait…it’s an herb?
To the best of my knowledge Oregon is famous for being named after a herb. Other than that, this whole place is news to me.

2. Pennsylvania
This is probably true? I’m pretty sure that’s where they came from.
To the best of my knowledge Pennsylvania is where the Amish live, and they’re apparently just like our European Dutch people.

It is not actually an island. Womp-womp.
To the best of my knowledge Rhode Island is famous for, err, being an island I guess?
