I never really think about cultural boundaries existing within families. How could they, right? I mean, after 21 years, me and my parents know each other pretty damn well. Then my dad told me to put "olivia" in 20-down.
"...and do you know how to spell 'Roosevelt'?"
I checked the clues. "Who's Olivia Roosevelt?" Because, that's not what you think first, is it, that your dad's just plain wrong?
"FDR's wife."
It was just weird, that's all. I think of the name Eleanor Roosevelt as about as household as Abraham Lincoln or Luke Skywalker. (Then again, Dad thinks Harrison Ford played him.)
