On Monday, it came to the attention of the Daily Dot’s editorial staff that more than 30 percent of Americans pronounce the word “meme” as “me-me” - a statistic that seems to jibe with a study that claimed that 30 percent of Americans don’t have home access to broadband Internet. Still, it got us thinking: What other misinformation does roughly a third of this great nation believe? The answers, we soon found out, are as disheartening as they are stupid. Get ready to rage.
