I once taught Science in the 6th (joint) worst high school in the UK, in a port town on the Thames Estuary. A student told me she went on holiday abroad, I asked her where? ‘No, we went Abroad.’ On detailed questioning it became clear she though Abroad was a place, and had no idea what overseas country she had been to.
