Is it Time to Rethink US State Names?

In summary, most Americans have a difficult time even remembering the chronological sequence of U.S. Presidents, and many don't even know who Fillmore, Arthur, or Garfield was. Also, state numbering should be restructured to be more box-like, following the role of Wyoming and Colorado. Lastly, Alaska should be ceded to Canada.
According to our new map, it would be France.

you'd think so, but it seems like the only people dumb enough to make a bar bet usually get confused by the term South and end up saying Canada anyway.jtbell said:I bet you win a lot of bets in bars/pubs with that one.

You would not believe the number of times we encountered Yanks driving south across the border from Detroit with skis on their car racks in the middle of August. It was like 100* F. with 99% humidity, and they wanted to know where the snow was! We'd tell them to turn around and go back the way they came from for 8 or 9 hundred miles.tribdog said:
