I think people everywhere are taught misconceptions about other people in other countries. You will never know unless you contact people in other countries and ask them.
"By you Leave" is a very old term that was used in England a very long time ago. It is supposed to have something to do with social classes, when someone of a lower social class was in the presence of someone in a higher social class they couldn't just walk away without asking permission and their way of asking permission was to say "By you Leave" to the person who had a higher social standing. If you don't know what I'm talking about then I to assume either that it is no longer in use or that it is a misconception.
