In early elementary school I thought "My Country 'Tis of Thee..." was "My Country Tisafee." I was under the impression that the U.S.A. could be called America or, I guessed, Tisafee. I even told a crush of mine named Tiffany that her named kinda sounded like our country's one morning in class... she gave me a rather puzzled look...
