ignorance...

I just remembered someone said this to me when i was in China...

Idiot: 加拿大是讲什么语言的啊? [loose tx: What language is spoken in Canada?]
me: *stare*
Idiot: 加拿大文吗? ["Canadian"???]
me: *stare* ... *blink* ... *blink some more* 。。。 真的假的啊?? [Are you serious??]
Idiot: 干吗?美国不是讲美国文吗?那加拿大是讲美国文吧。。。加拿大没有自己的语言吗? [What? they speak "American" in the US, don't they? so in Canada, you speak "american" too... Canada doesn't have its own language?]
me: *stare* ... *blink* 。。。 美国是讲英文的。加拿大也一样。 [In the US, they speak English. It's the same in Canada.]
Idiot: 啊?!? 真的啊?!那英国人说什么话啊??? [WHAT?!? Really?! so what do they speak in England???]
me: *stare*
Jiejie: 都是说英文的!! [They all speak English!!] *changes topic before i beat Idiot up*
