Why do Americans pronounce centaurs "centars"???
Rather a board stroke to cast over a country with literally a dozen major dialects and more than a hundred minor ones.
Its American public education at its finest.
A few summers ago, I had a debate with some university graduates from Germany about their county's 472km border with Poland--which they insisted did not exist. At first, I thought they were joking--being ironical obtuse or perhaps smugly nationalistic--but the longer the conversation continued, the more I wish (almost for the first time) that I carried a cellular device with access to verifiable information.
Public education is almost always available to those who want it.
