    While we are at it we should rename the hundreds of cities named the same as European cities. Maybe even consider renaming Georgia, why would they want to be named after King George

      Georgia is also a country. Gets confusing because some Americans will tell your their state when asked where they’re from, even when overseas. I’ve complimented someone who’d said they’re from Georgia on their English before.

      (On a side note, can you imagine travelling to the US, being asked where you’re from, then going ‘oh I’m from alto adige originally’)
