Check some of the other Countries by Letter quiz comments... you'll find a LOT of non-Americans who moan about missing their own countries... and how do you know they're American, anyway? They didn't say.
Cotton in a desert, which cause the ecological catastrophy called The Aral lake.... Sad story and ever sadder is, that they won't do anything about that
In French, just "u" is pronounced like e.g. ü in German, so to get the OO sound, they use "ou": Ouganda, Ouzbékistan. For some reason Latin American countries are left intact and pronunciation is adjusted accordingly.
Funny...typed Uk...for Ukraine. And got credit for the UK which I had not thought about...tho I hope I would have remembered it. Along with the US. I would never think there are as many countries of any of the letters these quizzes do until I do the quiz! I think there will be 4 because I remember 2 or 3, and then they start coming into my head. It's helped me memorize them for the big quiz, tho there isn't much use otherwise. I could start tweeting them I suppose. ;)
I couldn't remember Uruguay for the life of me. Should've been the most obvious one, apparently not. And UK working for United Kingdom made me remember the other two United ____ countries, yay!
Normally it takes me the full time to remember them because I can't think straight (even though I do fine on Countries of the World), but this only took me 10 seconds for some reason!
Hahaha, I'm from the US and that was the only one I missed. I was even thinking, "I'll bet there's another United one I'm forgetting about...". What a brain fart.
Reminds me of a "Why Americans are stupid" video on youtube. One of the questions was "Name the country that begins with "U"". One guy started: "Utah, Utopia, Yugoslavia..." and one girl was just standing with a dumb expression on her face. The journalist tried to help her and it looked like that: J: What about this country? G: Which one? J: The one we are in now G: What? J: United States G: Ooh!
Went into the quiz with Uganda and Ukraine in mind. Typed Ukraine, got UK as well, looked in the comments for the rest of the answers, got them, ended the quiz and it turns out I forgot Uganda.. *sigh*
I did not know you ( both ) were quoting.
btw ( by the way )
Having fun on Jetpunk and then thinking of Ukraine gives me cognative dissonance.
so MExico should be allowd, hehehe
*gets embarrassed
exactly one minute left :C
Little joke, what did Ukraine become after 1986?
UKRAINIUM.
APACHE
XD
Oh yeah also Uganda or whatever
Ukraine 68%
How is this possible? I'm fairly certain most people know a lot more about Ukraine.
