Actual conversation heard outside of the University of Michigan School of Social Work:
Student 1: So the ones that run around here all the time, they're chipmunks?
Student 2: No, they're squirrels, chipmunks are smaller.
Now I would have totally understood if there was even the slightest detection of an accent from either student, because language/word clarification would have been an obvious reason for the question. But if you're from the US, who doesn't know the difference between a chipmunk and a squirrel? Am I wrong to be appalled here?
