The word west no longer has any meaning to me.

You know what, I’m down. I think life in Mega Virginia will probably be better than life in Indiana now. Can we also do Long Massachusetts?

Alaska should be northest westest Virginia.
naticus@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Unless you’re considering the farthest point of the archipelago, and then it’s northest eastest Virginia.

This post did make me wonder about something related to American history. Maybe someone can she some light on this.
In my understanding the colonization of the Americas was a bit of a blank slate, I can understand some areas being name after Indian names (Delaware) and some from their former colonial history (Louisiana).
Buy why have several terrorists (Virginia, Carolina, Dakota) ben divided north/south? Was there some kind of internal political struggle that caused a divide? Why did they stick to the name?

Well, Virginia should be renamed “East Virginia” based on this logic.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I disagree. We should call Texas: Big Virginia. We should call Alaska: Bigger Virginia.
KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 2 years ago
Well this is just inaccurate.
North North North North Virginia should be North North North East North North Virginia, and that propagates through The State Formerly Known As New Hampshire and The State Formerly Known As Maine, too.
North North North North Virginia would be Old Canada.

Piogre314@lemmy.world 2 years ago
It’s appropriate that they all be slightly wrong, though. Virginia extends slightly west of West Virginia, so West Virginia should really be North Virginia. To use the same naming convention means to carry similar errors.
Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 2 years ago
Agreed.
They list Ohio as “West North Virginia” when it should either be “North West Virginia” (North of [West Virginia]) or “West North North Virginia” (West of [North North Virginia, AKA, Pennsylvania])
