This reminds me of a funny (yet true) story.  When I was in grad school I
tended bar with a fellow from Wales who was working on his Phd in Math at
the same school.  Since we had both played soccer at our undergrad schools
and had the same tastes in beer and girls, we became good friends.  One day
he came in with the hiccups from laughing so hard.  When queried, he told me
it was the first day of a freshman pre-calc class that he was teaching and
he had everyone do quick introductions.  After the students gave their names
and hometowns, he told them he was originally from Wales, etc.  He asked the
class if they had any questions before they got started...

...and an attractive young woman in the front complemented him on his
English and asked if he learned it before or after coming to the USA from
Wales...

Sorry but I have to respond to that.

A number of countries in your 'Europe' do not use the Euro (sadly in my
opinion) in which case in what continent do you think the UK, Sweden et
al are in?? We are all Europeans over here regardless of the currency we
use. I don't understand why you have to feel that a continent is
identified by its currency. Maybe it's the inherent capitalist nature of
North America which make some people think like that or maybe is a
simple misunderstanding of a strange land over the ocean... who knows.

HEY!

Don't lump all of us North Americans together.  Some of us are actually
educated, non-xenophobic, and ethnically and cultural diverse (and
aren't
afraid to say so!).
