@stevieb ..... Thank you! Thank you! Whew! That was harder than I thought it would be ....... now I am a little bit jealous. I want your Virgina accent! I have a love of the southern accents and the Irish accent. Still have some of my West Virginia accent and I still say "ya all" but it never was quite southern enough for me. Oh well. Maybe my Amazon Alexa will eventually offer a southern accent.

Have a good night!

The things I learn on this forum! I didn't know a single state in this group, and didn't even know that there are states referred to as commonwealths.

I live in the only state that does not have counties.

I'd want to say a state that was too small to have counties (like RI or Delaware), but I know that DE has counties. (Although it only has one area code). Does your state have parishes?

Puerto Rico is also known as a commonwealth.

Of the 4? Zero, I wouldn't know about RI if I hadn't read this thread. Geography was/is my worst subject, with world history a close second.

Recently, I had a female healthcare worker stay with me for a few months. She drove here (Calif) from Missouri. I thought Missouri was next to Minnesota - bordering Canada. I was surprised to see Missouri on a map!!!! History was also my worst subject. Couldn't understand anytthing.

@wildcat fan ...... Puerto Rico is referred to as a Commonwealth but only 4 states (Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Kentucky and Virginia) have the legal right to use it in their names.
