It's hard for me to say, because I've been repeating it over and over again for a fortnight, so know them all now, by name and geography; this sort of thing comes in handy at my pub quiz. ...dot com bold typeface rhetoric.

Hadn't even heard of Delaware, and didn't know Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire or Connecticut were states. And I thought Rhode Island was in New York. Other toughies: Nevada, Utah, Washington (in terms of where it is, haha),Wyoming, Oklahama, Oregon, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Missouri, Illinois. Not to say I haven't heard of these places, but I would never have said they were states. Easiest: New York, Texas, California, Arizona, Alaska, Hawaii, Florida, Michigan. Deceptive ones that made me scream with frustration: New Jersey, Idaho, (West/)Virginia, the two Carolinas, the two Dakotas. I got a lot of them by remembering where WWE pay-per-views had been held during my childhood. How were people with the actual geography of states? ...dot com bold typeface rhetoric.

I did it alphabetically, and checked every letter for State names starting with it. D, E, F, G and H are all easy of course, things only get harder from M en N on.
