Switzerland keeps moving. I hate that.

There was a Swiss national working at former employer of mine. I asked her why the "CH" for Switzerland. She gave me this
line [of bull] about it being from the German spelling - "Schweizerische", and "S" was taken by Spain(?).

I found out a short time later listening to a talk radio program cruising home one night...From the Latin - Confoederatio Helvetica.

So, CNN isn't quite alone misunderstanding Switzerland.

I hope everyone keeps this in mind the next time a European tries to say something about the intelligence of an average American.

Not that we didn't already know the truth anyway, of course...
