How To Identify An American Tourist

Good points. I've never seen an American abroad wearing a baseball cap but I guess it'd be a giveaway. I have heard many talk down on Americans for wearing jeans in a "Americans have no fashion sense" tone. But you are right. Jeans are more expensive in other countries due to high tarrifs. I apologize if my response came off as overly defensive. Both of my parents are Fobs. Since foreigners see me as an outsider, some have talked trash about Americans to me/in front of me thinking I shared the same views.

 

Your parents are friends of Bill Clinton?

Wear old Jeans and a t-shirt.  It's worked for me in Turkey, Bosnia, and Greece.  But, then again, I'm such a beatific vision to behold that all the nations of the world want to count me amongst their numbers.

If we are talking about regional varieties of English, there is no such thing as correct.
