There are 50 states right? Tonight, after watching friends (where ross was naming all the states) we decided to have a go. We’ve managed to end up with 51. So which of the following is not a state? (bear in mind I am not American, and shouldn’t be strung up for making this mistake)
Alabama
Alaska
Albuquerque
Arizona
Arkansas
California
Colorado
Columbia
Conneticut
Delaware
East Virginia
Florida
Georgia
Hawaii
Illinois
Indianna
Iowa
Kansas
Kentucky
Louisianna
Maine
Maryland
Massechusets

Minesota
Mississippi
Missouri
Nebraska
Nevada
New England
New Jersey
New Mexico
New York
North Carolina
North Dakota
Ohio
Oklahoma
Oregon
Pensylvania
Philadelphia
Rhode Island
South Carolina
South Dakota
Tennesee
Texas
Utah
Washington
West Virginia
Wisconsin
Witcheta
Wyoming
Oops… I only glanced at the list when I wrote that. Wichita is a city in Kansas, Columbia is actually the District of Columbia and isn’t a state. Montana is missing, Albequerque is a city in New Mexico and it’s West Virgininia. All in all, I am amazed at how many you got considering how abysmal I would do trying to trying to name the (?) counties(?) in your country. Damn your good.

No teasing here, some days I can’t do as well and I’m a born here type citizen.
Columbia is actually District of Columbia, which isn’t actually a state though it’s where Washington, D.C. is located. East Virginia is actually just Virginia. New England is a region and not a state. It’s comprised of a bunch of those East Coast states. Idaho is a state that isn’t on your list. Albuquerque is a city in New Mexico.
Columbia is not a “state”; it is the “District of Columbia”, ruled directly by the US federal government. I think. Also, you left out Virginia and Vermont.
Witchita
Philadelphia
Albuquerque
New England isn’t a state, but an area of the country on the eastern seaboard, north of New York. Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont are all in New England.
Columbia - I think you mean the District of Columbia, also not a state.
Albuquerque-- city in New Mexico
Columbia-- capital of South Carolina
East Virginia-- it’s just Virginia
New England-- this is a region including Maine, New Hampshire, and several other northeastern states
Philadelphia-- city in Pennsylvia
Witcheta-- city in Kansas
You’re missing Arkansas, New Hampshire, Vermont and Virginia
I myst apoligize, On a lark I tried to name all 50 states, and I got to 30 and had to look at you list Lobsang. I totaly tanked on the DC mistake. We never refer to it as anything other then Washinton DC, or DC for shot. Thats what I get for tryong to be a smart ass. Kudos to you my british friend, as you know more about here then I could ever ho[e to know about there
Oh and so you knwo DC is between Maryland and Virgina, and the traffic sucks
Dang it, Sunspace, I was going to mention the Colombia spelling. A former acquaintance of mine who was a Spanish professor had a dilly of a story about somebody “correcting” her spelling in some paperwork that was handed out at a conference of Spanish teachers…
Alberqerque, East Viginia, New England, and Witcheta are not states either. Witchita is a city in Kansas. Alberqerque is a city in New Mexico, and East Virginia should be West Virginia. New England is a name for a group of states. I dunno which ones.
there is a great game to test your knowledge of states and stuff at yahooligans . Just go down to ‘test your knowledge’. i used to play this at work, and to get ready when my kids start studying that stuff.
Thanks guys. On looking up I see I am missing at least New Hampshire (never would have guessed that one) and Vermont (nor that one). Looking up further, to Airman Door’s post I also missed Idaho, Montanna and Virginia (assumed it was two states, east and west)
Funnily enough I would do much worse naming English Counties. Especially now that my head is swimming with US states. Off the top of my head there’s Lancashire, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Greater London, Greater Manchester, Birmingham, Lancaster.
The ones in the middle I am not sure about, and I am not sure if Devon is a county, or if Cornwall is a county, or if one is inside the other etc…
