Why do Americans think shamrocks are the same as four-leaf clovers?

Look closely at commercial "Irish" stuff for sale, especially around St. Patrick's Day. You will find that many of the shamrock designs are actually four-leaf clovers. Don't Americans know that St. Patrick used the three-leafed shamrock to teach the heathen Irish about the Trinity? What is going on?

    Sure, lots of American know that. I used his example in an answer on YA just a week or so ago.
