The 66% of the population that can’t can surely find their local welfare office on the map.
Sorry, Brooklyn is the largest city in the largest county in the largest state east of the Mississippi, all by population.
Out of work auto worker, head down, hands in pockets.
How many Scottish could find Wyoming on a map? It’s roughly comparable in the greater scheme of things.
Break out the kilts!
Asking a Scot to find Wyoming would be similar to asking an American to find the County of Argyle in Scotland.
Michigan looks like a really bummed out Minecraft character. Who knew, lol?
It’s next to Wallace-ville on my map...
Who reads anymore? Certainly not the person who wrote that stupid headline nor the people responding to this thread down to your post.
If Scotland were a US state it would be a pretty small one, with a population slightly over 5 million. So, no, Wyoming relative to Scotland is about right in comparison to Scotland relative to the US.
Depends on how you look at it.
The U.S. has 57 states to sift through while Scotland only has a handful of counties.
The more important question is:
How many Americans can find the Scotch?
Too many, I fear.
Snicker! :-)
You could be right as far as area. When I was a kid Jacksonville was the largest city in the state population wise. Now I suspect it is Miami but I haven’t checked in some time.
When Jacksonville took over all of Duval County, it probably became the largest in area but Georgia is the largest state in area.
Guess I got that wrong, lol
Wouldn’t you just love having Mark Twain at a dinner party? He and Winston Churchill....sigh.
Since the brilliant Obama thinks they speak Austrian in Austria, my guess he too has no clue the Highlands are.
I would bet a lot of money that a very high pct. of adult Americans could not find the U.S.A. on a map of the world.
The hard ones for me are all those square-ish western states, that were carved out of one territory. Or maybe all those little NE ones clustered together.
Lousy-ana, FL, and TX are three of the easiest (of the continental states, of course. HI and AK are a cinch).
