Fun fact about Tennessee, they’re known as the Volunteers because of their selfless service in multiple wars starting in 1812. Weird fun fact, my motorcycle broke down when riding through the state and other bikers who lived in Tennessee helped me get back home - starting with one guy who helped me push my bike to the local gas station who then called his buddy. His buddy, a big burly guy put my bike on his trailer and took me home where his wife had food waiting for me. He called my husband who came and got me. The hubby & wife put me up for the night till my hubby could get there the next day. First guy was Air Force. Burly guy was a Marine. His wife was Army. My husband was Navy. ROFL. Tennessee. 💜

Tennessee is the second of two states to have a chemical element named after it (Element 98 was discovered in 1950 at the University of California and named californium, Cf), after the secret city of Oak Ridge, built by the US Army during WWII to process fuel for the first A-bombs, then declassified after the war ended. Tennessine, number 117, symbol Tn, would probably be a halogen if enough of it existed at one time to do chemical experiments with it, hence the -ine suffix, like fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), and Astatine (At).

Your second pronunciation of Oregon was correct. In fact, you pronounced it way better than a lot of people from other states in US that I’ve run into who tend to pronounce it Oregahn which for some reason we take very personally😂😂. Sincerely an Oregonian

[@LindaC616]

Rhode Island does still have polo, Diane. They play in a town about 20 minutes north of my house. That's because they roll up the road at 6 o'clock there, and they don't want to go anywhere else, so it provides them with entertainment on a Saturday night. Sometimes they play on the beaches nearer me in the wintertime

[@irontusk341]
