99.9% of US voters don't know the difference, so that's a red herring. However those same voters know there are 50 states and that Memorial Day is not the same as Veterans' Day.

Ronald Reagan, although vigorous in his first term, started to slip in his second term and historians feel that he was suffering the early onset of Alzheimer's disease. Other elderly presidents fared even worse. "William Henry Harrison was 68 and his age was brought up during the presidential campaign," says Paul Bowler, presidential historian at Texas Christian University. "So, to prove his stamina, he exposed himself to cold weather and he walked a lot during the campaign. And he died a month after the inauguration. The ironic thing was that by exposing himself to the cold, he got sick and died." And Bowler, who is 91 and retired from teaching in his 70s, notes that the presidency is a much more rigorous job now than it was in Harrison's time. "Back in the old days, they didn't have as much to do. Now it's an all-consuming job."
