That's so cute. :)
Most of the American students when I was at Oxford required a similar lesson on the distinctions between Great Britain/The United Kingdom/England/Ireland/Northern Ireland. It's slightly less cute when it's 20 year olds who should know, though.
I'm with Bess!
Someone here thought Chicago was a state. You are doing a great job!

Wait. Chicago's not a state?
