Geocentrism, yes. I like that. The term, I mean- not the tendency.
And there's another one- Fahrenheit vs. Celsius. I read "40 degrees" and think, "What? It's COLD there in July?" But no. Of course not. My head just doesn't translate quickly enough for that to make sense right away.
While we're at it, can the US please switch to metric? Measuring by twelfths just doesn't make sense. Not to mention the conversion needed. Why must we be so difficult? This is probably the real reason for jihad.
