This has been noted with amusement on this side of the pond. Especially during the lectures on the lack of accuracy in the minds of
those in the USA. Though somewhere between often and usually a valid point, the correction is often with information equally mythological.
Or maybe fake news and false facts have been leaking into the pond a lot longer than we've been noticing. I think Jock's finger firmly
placed on the "Hollywood" ( ) sign has probably a great deal of relevance and substance.
I, for one, am glad to have this explanation for this curiosity, as I have always thought the schools superior there. Here, movies, Cliff's Notes,
and Classic Comics are much in the mix, as well.
