I just thought of the most douchiest thing possible.
One day, I'm going to Georgia, the country Georgia, and every single time someone mentions the name while I'm there, I'm going to say:
"What, do you mean the state? Or the country?"

Good lord. That is Canada. Aren't you their sovereign nation. Shouldn't you know this.I know! What the hell has York done to deserve a sequel?!
Atleast Nova Scotia has some latin spice in it, but I'm not sure if thats Canada or not...
American Weird Facts:
The Dutch created a colony, as they tended to do. They called it New Holland, with its capital being New Amsterdam.
Eventually the English took it over, as they tended to do. They renamed it New York, and they named the capital New York as well, because tradition.
Virginia is named after Queen Elizabeth. Because priorities. ![]()
Idaho isn't an actual Native word. The marketers just thought it sounded enough like the other exotic Native named territories that people would come there.
I didn't know that one about California's name. ![]()
California is often represented on old maps as an island, because an explorer mistook a guide's words and thought a particularly large river was in fact the water lane separating California from the mainland. Other explorers didn't bother to check his facts, preferring to sail up the coast. Centuries later, one particularly irate man proved his insane theory by walking to California.
The flag was originally supposed to be two pears, but the flag artist who got the commission thought that was so incredibly stupid it had to be a typo, so he made a flag with two bears on it. The California legislation was overwhelmed with the awesomeness of having two bears on their flags, so they went with it.
Why do you people make me do my history thing so often?

I felt it would have been better if the palette were reversed with the second one blue. Sort of like a built anticipation.

A few of my cousins are Canadian, it annoys them that we can't tell the difference between American and Canadian accent. One of them called football soccer over a christmas dinner and started an intercontinental family feud.

100% true. Though the only accents that are hard to differentiate are the ones closest to the border between us. I may have said the dreaded "s" word to some British folk...got some pretty mean stares... ![]()

But you're from the South, Colonel.
My own fellow Washingtonians try to throw me under the bus as a Canadian, only for the mutual friend they use as an example of how I should sound like as an AMERICAN(!!!*sound of gunfire*) to point out, "Um, guys. You do know I'm Canadian, right?" ![]()

You can tell if they are Canadian by how many times they say "Sorry"
