Not to be an ass, but I'm too much of a geography geek to get any of them mixed up. I will admit that when I was a kid, I had an issue with Vermont and New Hampshire, until Mr. Gilmore told me that Vermont was the one shaped like a "V" for Vermont in the 5th grade. He was also a geography geek and recognized me as one. I loved that guy.

Oh, come on...let's be fair. I'm sure there's something silly that you mix up, too.

If not, good on you! You are a geography buff!

Same here! I used to stay up for hours as a kid just studying my atlas. Still do sometimes. The states just seem placed right to me. Isk why, but I can't mix them up.

Do you say you're from "Washington" though?

That's exactly how I learned Vermont in the 5th grade in California! Maybe we were in the same class??? Oh wait, my teacher's name wasn't Mr. Gilmore, it was Mrs. Higashi.

Thanks for showing these people a map. I just love when people try to belittle others, and are completely wrong.

Well, I personally believe some people out there in our country don't have maps...
