No, that's incorrect...I saw that same article and you have your facts mixed up...Scientific American was the magazine I think.
It was comparing adult European and American knowledge about the solar system and one of the questions was
What is the name for the star in our solar system?
(that was a hint right there)...
Of the Europeans....only 22% knew that it was the Sun.
Of the Americans....89% recognized that the Sun is a star.
If I can find that link I'll post it.

Just watch that crazy show Smarter Than A Fifth Grader. I flipped past it and had to notice the gal didn't know what country was north of the US border. Bad acting or really really sad.

Is it true that most people that ask questions here don't know how to use proper grammar or the check spelling button.

You must keep in mind that 87.235% of all statistics are made on the spur of the moment.

85% don't know that the moon is a star, what's your point?

Suprised you can read - because you cannot write properly.
