The British Prime Minister's name is spelt Gordon Brown , not Browne.
As he is in charge of the world's 5th largest economy, which also gave America its language and much of its heritage and culture, you could afford him the courtesy of spelling his name correctly.
If Americans want to mantain their place as Global Masters , they'll have to brush up on their knowledge of foreign countries.
