ATL is my least favorite airport. Last time I had a layover, they announced a delay because "the door fell off the plane." I don't want them to lie but they could have done a better job not freaking out passengers.

2020 is a huge outlier for obvious reasons. I'm not going to say that Beijing has passed Atlanta unless it does so in 2022.

A common language separated by an ocean. As a British person I have never heard of some of the words used here!

Like what? I guess I can understand why you might say that for the name of the river and perhaps a couple other proper names, but I don't feel there are many unusual words on this quiz.

Oh, didn't you know? They don't know the word "aquarium", wot, Brits call it a "Fisharbour" or "Waterlybink".

I think they mean unfamiliar names. There are some that British people would have to be very aware of American culture to get - but that's the joy of this website! I got 6 right on my first try, but still scored 0!

I've lived in the Atlanta metro area for nearly 20 years and I've heard it many a time. Plus, if you look at the city from a high place the reason for the nickname is obvious.

The Buckhead one feels a bit misleading. The movement to secede is hardly active. I would never have thought of Buckhead as very wealthy by means of Druid Hills or Chastain, but I guess it is.

Seems rather active to me, or at least it's been in the local news a fair amount lately.
