By the way, manners don't cost anything. Much the same point you made was raised in post #7, but politely. Its not polite to make someone sound dumb just because you disagree with him.
Sorry if I offended you in any manner. But the argument behind saying "Columbus discovered America" (If you read my post about Portugal discovering Brazil in 1343, you'll see that's wrong as well) is that the Europeans, discovered America, and that is inherently understoodable by anyone who says such a thing. I therefore see no reason why anyone should get a nerve when people say such things.
