Do You Think You Could Respond To This? (Part II)

[CDSinex]

Isn't Vancouver, BC (not to be confused with Vancouver, WA) in the Canadian deep south?

 

[Nymtoc]

Shouldn't one of the Vancouvers change its name, to avoid confusion?

 

[Jehhillenberg]

Wonder how many folks have mixed up cities, states, provinces, and countries with the same name?

 

[Robbert]

Would you believe there is another Jerusalem? (tiny village not far from where I grew up, Germany)

 

[Nymtoc]

Would you believe there are at least 30 Londons in the world?

 

[Komnena]

Is there not a Cairo, Illinois?

 

[Robbert]

Hello, my name is Greenville, I was born in Clinton and wanted to ask you if you know the way to Washington?

 

[iLion]

Did you know there are about 19 New Yorks in the world? Wouldn't you always be explaining yourself if you hailed from, say, New York, Nebraska?

 

[WriterWho]

Did you know there's a Kansas City, KS and a Kansas City, Missouri, right next to each other?

 

[iLion]

Shouldn't the one change its name to Missouri City, Mo?

 

[WriterWho]

That doesn't roll off the tongue quite as well, does it?

 

[CDSinex]

Shouldn't we all tip our hats in the direction of Paris, Texas?

 

[Drachen Jager]

What about the elderly American couple who booked a trip to Sydney, thinking to see the Opera House and a few kangaroos, only to end up in Sydney, British Columbia, because their travel agent wasn't the brightest bulb?

 

[Nymtoc]

Don't residents of Hollywood, Florida, have to keep explaining that they don't live in THAT Hollywood?

 

[WriterWho]

DJ, did that really happen? *googles, finds nothing* What do I need to type in to find it?

 

[Drachen Jager]

Would I lie to you?

[WriterWho]

Can you see me mouthing 'thank you'?

 

[Drachen Jager]

Is that what you were mouthing just now?

 

[Jehhillenberg]

Drachen is clearly not distracted by the movement of WW's mouth.

(what an outrageous lie) *high-fives self*

 

[JoBird]

These thread topics sure do get confusing, don't they?

 

[Jehhillenberg]

Shows the importance of reading, huh?

whoops!

 

[talkwrite]

Doesn't that show the importance of comprehending what you are reading?

 

[Drachen Jager]

Aren't you just picking nits?

 

[WriterWho]

Did you know that I say that phrase 'nit-picking', not 'picking nits'?

 

[Lavern08]

Isn't it true that you can pick your friends, but not your family?
