repeat after me*:

"there are 50 states in the union. . ."

"there are fifty states in the union, there are fifty states in the union, there are fifty states in the union, there are fifty states in the union, there are fifty states in the union, there are fifty states in the union, there are fifty states in the union. . ."

Doesn't the UK include Northern Ireland? I think you mean GB.

Mel said...

Well, *I* just had a lesson in GB which is England, Scotland and Wales vs UK which is the United Kingdom of Great Britian and Nothern Ireland.

wish I'd had that one Mel before exposing my ignorance (yet again)

I, Like The View said...

ooh! Mel I'm groaning too now, I am so confused - and I think I did know all of this once, only I so wanted to have United Kingdom and United States that I fudged it a little. . .

(I actually had Ireland in, in the beginning, but thought I had to take it out because I had UK not GB)
