FYI, Dover's the capital of Delaware.

(pedantic Blue Hen here.)




My bad :). My head said Dover, and my hands wrote biggest city I could remember. Don't tell my 8th grade U.S. History teacher. He'd have an anuerism.


Or your spelling teacher (aneurysm)


Don't tell his spelling coach either!!


Wouldn't your geography teacher be more annoyed than your history teacher, or have I missed the point?


My U.S. History teacher grilled us every week on knowing US states & their capitols. You have to show weekly improvement, and finish the term w/ 100%.

Regarding spelling, I plead not guilty by reason of autocorrect+gorilla-fingers-on-little-screen.


In some schools (like mine) we did a geography segment as part of the history class. So same teacher, primarily teaching history.


Will there be a man made ravine breaking it into northern & souther halves, though?
