"You can never tell with Americans"?

What does that even mean lmao. Do people outside of the US not make jokes or lie?

No, I meant it more like that English is basically the only language in which Austria and Australia might be confused, and that the US is practically the only English-speaking place that is far enough from both of these places to be able to confuse them so badly as to go to the wrong one. And, you know, there is this stereotype that Americans are terrible at world geography.

edit: typo

Stereotypes are ok when it's americans, poles or gypsies in Europe.
