I grew up with America-centered Mercator-projection maps in the classrooms and my bedroom until around 1974. I also have a vague, possibly incorrect memory of being baffled for a while after that by maps with Kamchatka at the left, split between Australia and New Zealand (155° east) rather than either at 180° or between mainland Siberia and Alaska.
