AI got into Wikipedia or something:
The contiguous United States, if it were a country, would be last on the list of countries and dependencies by area. However, the total area of the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii, ranks last. In land area only, the country ranks last.
If only the mafia didn’t control cement in New York, and the free market let the cream of cement manufacturers rise to the top, things may have gone down different on that crisp September morning.
the linguists are lying about the Coke thing. As someone who has lived in a solid Coke zone according to this map but use soda as the generic term, I have never noticed it or had a misunderstanding based on Coke used in a generic way.
I think what’s true is that there is not a consensus on the term for soda (you’ll see soda, fountain drink, soft drink, canned drink, etc) and that Coke and it’s variants (diet, cherry etc) have a large market share, so people end up using the specific name instead of a generic term.
I checked a non chain restaurant in small town Minnesota, and saw pop on the menu. Same for soda in NJ. I looked at a couple dozen restaurants in MS, GA, TN, and AL and couldn’t find one using Coke to refer to anything other than Coca Cola.
