From a house plans website...

Queen Anne-style house plans are what comes to mind for many people when they think of Victorian-style homes (Queen Anne is a popular subset of Victorian style).

Now children, who can tell me what is wrong with this statement?

Oh, I'm sure it makes sense, especially if it is the same as 'Victorian' in Britain... it just amuses me. In Europe, things tend to have different names, perhaps more due to language than geography or nationality.

Like, I think it's art deco that's known as Liberty in Italy, while in Continental Europe what we called 'Celtic' art is 'La Tene' and stuff like that.

It's all nonsense really.. but there's no way Queen Anne and Victorian could be confused or lumped togeher.
