Many Americans have a way of saying where they live in this format: "Oh, I come from West Irishtown in the upper Cuyahoga Valley" instead of saying "Cleveland." Many non-Americans sometimes get confused with that very specific sentence structure. It's an endearing thing, but it can baffle others. So this article follows that pattern in…
