At school, I was taught that Marie Curie was French. Now, whilst she was married to a Frenchman, and may have acquired French citizenship later in life, by birth, she was Polish!

Were other people taught the half-truth that she was French?

@Paulos_the_fog That’s about as bad as the anglo-centric view that the first computer was the ENIAC—completely neglecting Konrad Zuse and his work, isn’t it? ;-)

@Paulos_the_fog That is nice to see, but the web tells a loud and different story, doesn’t it?
