I had always thought that the film "Airplane" was a joke spelling - I didn't realise it was real. I hadn't realised that Whisky was spelt like Irish Whiskey, exclusively. I was always hugely irritated by the (rather meaningless phrase) "Happy Holidays". I didn't realise that Americans don't take holidays except when they are Bank Holidays. I didn't know what a shoestring was, which is strange as we are quite happy about doing things on a shoestring.
