Geography
« on: November 07, 2012, 07:16:34 AM »
Learnt a lot about where all the US states are last night. Kinda embarrasing, but there was a lot of "really? Idaho is there? wow". I hadn't paid much attention before, pretty much only knew where texas and florida were. My night wasn't wasted.

Outside the US it is the correct spelling. In US English use "learned" always.

kids in UK now pronouncing Z as 'zee' instead of 'zed'. American influence is spreading. At least Canada is still keeping it real.

Depends on what state I think. Last I heard it was from a friend from Arizona. I thought he was wrong until I looked it up. But hey, good to know :).
