Dave, I believe you lived over seas at various times. Did you find it necessary to tell people that what they see on US television is not really how we live?

I found myself doing that a lot. A lot of people actually believe that all US students go to schools lie they see on 90210 and other Hollywood dreams. One woman asked me to teach her cuss words and was insulted when I tried to explain to her that educated people seldom used cuss words and that it was in appropriate for a woman to cuss.

Even growing up here I still have to remind myself and the kids that TV and Movies are not real.

So giving credit to the US in a US film made for US viewing (primarily), it is no big deal to us.

Not to mention I can quickly come up with at least one movie with Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood where the Brits got top billing.
