Me too. It's the way these type of comments get made indiscriminately, regardless of the context - it is exactly like jeering at the mistakes of someone who is trying to learn a new language. Different if they were reading the news in that language, or writing the Queen's Speech, or teaching it, but sneering at someone genuinely trying to learn and enjoy something about your culture is the mark of a small minded idiot, IMO. Says more about them than the person they are being rude about.

Perfumeshop, your experiences are much more heartening!
