Forums - General - AMERICA: The greatest country in the world

I'll just throw this in there: 5 or 6? Britain has 86 counties...

Hey, America's number of counties also features an 8 and a 6 in the tens and ones digits, respectively, what a coincidence!  Unfortunately for you, they're accompanied by a 0 in the hundreds digit and a 3 in the thousands digits.  That's right.  3,086 counties.  This thread is done.

They don't just use English cities' names. As examples, there are eight Stockholms and thirteen Lisbons in USA.

You do know the same kind of map could apply to calling Soccer "Football"... correct?

Why? Seems kind of different to me, as USA is inside America but neither of the footballs belong to each other.

 

Because Football isn't really football.

It's "Assosiation Football".

So named because it's a game in the subgoup  "Football" along with Rugby Football, Canadian Football, American Football and countless other "Football" games.

When you call Soccer, Football, you are doing the exact same thing... since the proper term was Assosiation shortened to "Soccer" by the British.





haha lol at the picture,theres probably one nut who actually thinks thats true



"They will know heghan belongs to the helghast"

"England expects that everyman will do his duty"

"we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender"
