[QUOTE="jaydough"][QUOTE="B05T0N"][QUOTE="dghul"]Meh, I'm from the United States and can name and locate every state and it's capital. I can name and locate most Canadian provinces and there capitals, and can name virtually any country in the world map, and most country capitals, too. :?B05T0N

Yet you dont know the correct forms of it's/its and there/their/they're...

There's nothing incorrect about saying 'correct forms' in place of 'homonyms'...

Well. I'm just saying you could have shortened up your sentence by a few words, thus, getting the reply out quicker.

What's the capital of Slovenia and which countries does it border!? (no internet help!)

I'm not sure how I can validate I didn't just go to some other sites to check but.....Capitol is Bratislava...Borders Czech Republic to the West since it used to be attached to it...I think Hungary to the north, maybe Romania to the East, maybe Slovenia and Bulgaria. I got most of that right, right?

Erm I believe you're thinking of Slovakia. Slovenia's capital is Ljublana and it borders Italy, Austria, Croatia and Hungary.

For the last time, I misread it as Slovakia.

I'm almost insulted, but not quite. Funny, a person from Mexico doesnt care about the US, when everyone from your country wants to be here...

An apology is not necessary for this situation, as the problem was very minor. In fact, I should be apologising for speaking out of term.

Probably a lot more than the amount of European countries the average American could list. (Which is actually quite unfair, considering there are only 48 countries in Europe.)

That's close, but you forgot Panama. Other than that, though, you listed the most important American states.

California, Washington and Oregon. Mainly because I was looking up the location of Mount St. Helens for Geography the other day. Being British, I find it pointless to learn the states and locations...

I can name every state in the US and possibly be able to point all of them out and I can also name all the states in Mexico, but i would probably have a hard time pointing them out on a map

Arent Europeans always insulting Americans saying we don't know of any countries etc on the other side of the globe etc? I'm just saying that because many people have responded why do they need to know states names.

I'm from the US(NYC, NY) and I know all the state names, but i wouldn't be able to pin point a lot of them on a map(maybe like 60% of them) sadly lol

With Europe I do know many Countries names, and the general locations, but not the exact locations if you know what I'm saying lol.

Not knowing the location of a country is much much worse than not knowing the name of the states within a country.

And Nevada. I don't know where that is. But it has a desert. ^__^

EDIT: Also Texas in the south. I forgot. :P

If you are a functioning human being over the age of 13, and you are an American you should be able to locate and name all 50 states. If you can't, go buy a meat grinder and stick your head into it. One should be ashamed of themselves if they don't know their own country's geography.
