Wow, surprises me you're just hearing about it. Interesting how bad we are at assuming common knowledge.

As an aside, I will note that there's nothing like spending time with teenagers to underscore how wide the perception gaps are about what constitutes "common knowledge."

Adult I mmigrants, especially non-western ones, should perhaps be considered 7-year-olds upon arrival as far as common knowledge goes. I have very poor CK of pre-1990 US (landed in 1997). Have you seen this fun project ? http://themindsetlist.com/lists/
