Oh, duh.
Ok, I have the great urge to say, "Oh, you mean West as in *that* West"...but it sounds even more ignorant than I've already been sounding.
Gah. Reminds me of that link Tubba put out around the beginning of election time about England Revoking (sp) the USA's independence. It had this on it quite a lot: "For the 97.6 % of you who DON'T realize a world exists outside your borders..."
*sigh* But I do realize that, usually.
