We also have a city in this state by the name of "City of Industry." Not simply "Industry" but "City of Industry." And "Carmel by the Sea" as opposed to just "Carmel" or "Carmel by the Dumpster Fire off 99."
Leaving out the ʻokina and kahakō changes the sound significantly. The ʻokina represents a glottal stop, the sound in the middle of "uh-oh". In Hawaiian, it's a letter of the alphabet. The kahakō (macron, the horizontal line over a vowel) means the vowel is long - as in pronounced for a beat longer. What we call long and short vowels in English should be considered different vowels because they are different sounds.

It's hard to transcribe, I hope that's of interest to someone. He haumana a ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi au. I'm still early in my learning.

Washington has Tillicum and Georgia has Cumming. This map was not well thought out

I love Cumming, ^GA

North Dakota had better have absolutely nothing else even slightly risque, in order to have any hope of justifying its theft of GA's rightful entry.

"Tulsa" is just "a slut" spelled backwards.

Yeah but Oklahoma has a small town called Peggs
spicytuna62@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 2y
We have plenty of funny town names here, but my favorites are Hooker, Slapout, Stringtown, and Hoot Owl.

What about Cumming, GA
ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 2y
I'm guessing it's because the map already has Cummings.
grue@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 2y
But Butts isn't even a town; it's a county.
This map is wack. It should be Cumming!

They have Bison. Went there a few weeks ago. Pretty cool park!

And if we’re going with parks there’s world famous Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney, PA! (as in Punxsutawney Phil and Groundhog Day)

clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 2y
We use them all the time but we're generally unaware of it. Like in "uh-oh".
That's leaving aside that Hawaiians ARE Americans, thanks to the Dole fruit company.
