Myth: John F. Kennedy blundered in one of his most famous speeches, saying in German “I am a jelly-filled doughnut” instead of what he meant (in the figurative sense) “I am a person from Berlin”. via John F. Kennedy’s Statement “Ich Bin Ein Berliner” was Not Interpreted as “I am a Jelly-Filled Doughnut”.

Hmmm. As a German major in college, I have been guilty of spreading this myth therefore I am confession my ‘guilt’ in public along with the correction. Follow the ‘via’ link if you’d like to know the rest of the story. In the meantime, enjoy the speech if you’re a history buff like me…
