So I found out from one of my patients that it’s insanely stupidly common for naturalized immigrants to the US to end up with documents that literally just entirely have their incorrect birthday on them purely because the idiots working in the US immigration offices are too fucking stupid to know that we are the only country in the world that uses the month/day/year date format.
So anyway my patient’s birthday was like November 3rd, not March 11th. And she’s actually not 21 for another like several months dude.
In Spain, with French speaking African immigrants, which are the main immigration we have after Latin Americans, occurs that many arrive thirsty, tired and struggling by makeshift boat and Red Cross workers ask them "nombre?" (Name) And they reply their "Nom" (last name) and so many of them have their last name as their First name and the First name as their last name.
Because the first people they encounter do not speak French and somehow nobody has told them to ask "prénom".
