You wondered whether Canada or America wins? Well, there may be many Britons and Canadians, but in the lead is definitely in the lead - and Texas is ahead! From the location threads over the past couple of forum pages...

Waenfalathiel. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . - USA Domination of the Unites States is proceeding rather splendidly – forty odd states covered, eeeexcellent… And world domination…not a megalomaniac (well, not completely), but 36 countries looks pretty good - but although we have a fair number from Finland, and even from far-flung destinations such Uruguay and Georgia, we’re missing a few which may have been expected – Welshmen, anyone?! |
There! Many edits later, I present the list as I make it - I apologise about the fairly dire formatting, my beautiful format as it was on word simply looked terrible when I moved it onto the page (apparently web pages don't like the 'tab' function...). With a fair few experiments, I have managed to come up with this format - I apologise for the messiness, but hey, 'tis the best I can do :)
If you have any problems with the list - if you want your name removed, for example, or even want your name put on - please PM me or leave a note on this thread. I won't take offence if you would prefer yourself not to be listed, or not as specifically as you once declared. Thanks :) |
Just as a note to your exhaustingly comprehensive list: you've listed Singapore as a part of China (when it is independent), and Hong Kong on its own (when its a part of China).
Other than that, it looked fine to me. |
Well if it matters (just for History's sake) Hong Kong used to be seperate but was given back to China by the Britain's around roughly eight years ago, they had a hundred year contract (or something around there, not that it makes a difference now being that it's a part of China, currently).
But anyway, you can add me if you like, I'm from Alberta, Canada. |
That's really awesome, Aman! There's a typo in my name, though.
Look at Heren, all alone in Georgia. I'm so silly; for my first few months on the site I thought he lived in the state of Georgia... only when he mentioned that Tbilisi was the capital of Georgia did I realize how very, very wrong I was. Tbilisi and Atlanta are very different things. :D |
The only problem that I can find is that Abercrombie and I aren't technically in Boston. For my part I've kin just outside and am in the city itself so often that it doesn't really matter, but technically we're Central Mass.
Don't worry about it though...Having people think we come from Boston is far better than admitting that we're from the-middle-of-nowhere-Mass (And for my part it's far far better because I can spell 'Boston' I can't spell 'Massachusetts') |
Changes duly made. Thanks for the edits to Singapore and Hong Kong - Hong Kong was the one I wasn't sure about, and I thought it was less likely to offend people if I listed it as being it's own country just in case... Singapore was just a mistake.
Esgallhugwen - you have been added :) Encaitare - your name has been recitified - trypo....:p Shelob - I have editted so that you and Abercrombie are down simply as Massachusetts (that word doesn't seem to look right no matter how you spell it...) instead of Boston. Hope this is ok :) |

I am from the Memphis area of TN, USA although i can't say i will be staying long as I am almost out of highschool and wanting to leave.

beech trees
"The name Beech is in early English boc, bece, or beoce; in German Buche, and in Swedish bok, and signifies either a book or the tree, the two senses being supposed to be connected by the fact that the ancient Runic writings were engraved upon beechen boards." There follows a lovely discussion of the Beech tree-- one of Proffessor Tolkien's favorites. "The Beech requires a thoroughly drained soil, and accordingly flourishes on high ground, whether calcareous or sandy. Its gray stems may thus be seen--often of great girth--throwing out their spreading roots." Nuranar: here is some practical info on the beech, latin name fagus, elvish name Almost-Mallorn: http://www.botanyworld.com/fagus.html Quote:
;) I'd like to hear from someone who knows about linden trees. Since Tinuviel's footfall is as light as a Linden Leaf, I've always wondered. Anoone got a picture or a link? |

http://www.treesforlondon.org.uk/htm...aplatyphyllos/ images.google.co.uk/images?q=tbn:iEALTjo5yk0J:www.moseleypark.co.uk/schools/images/lime.jpg Try these. There are wonderful beech woods near where I live - their fabulous structure make them natures cathedrals... very elvish :D |
Wow Aman! You HAVE been busy haven't you! I was surprised to find myself on your list and actually would request a bit of a migration. I formerly was of Maryland, USA, but could now be said to be Ohio resident of quite some duration (12 years). Not quite Canada I'm afraid, but pretty darn close! ;)

Tick :)
And Mithadan, point taken - you're up :) |

That actually was a pretty good post, btw i'm from Calgary Canada...no surprise that i'm first on the list... :cool:

I am from Tasmania, Australia. Extremely cold at the moment. We dont ride kangaroos but we do have 2 heads...

South Carolina...if you arent patient enough to read the list.

Wonderful job, Aman! There's a typo in my name too, though.
Oh, and Bicolana is a female native of Bicol, in the Philippines. |
Edits have been duly made - thank you to those who have pointed out edits to be made, such proofreading is appreciated :)
|
I think . . .
If the residents of member countries of the British Commonwealth join forces, they have a chance of outnumbering the Americans. :D
Excellent work, Ms. Aman! |
Hah,I'm the only one here who is from Croatia (and i know that many people don't even know where it is) :)

Yes, it was not too long ago when Croatia could be pinpointed more accurately by the general populatation than say Dol Amroth! ;) But of course, Barrow-downers are the exception, and many no doubt, would have no trouble pointing out both locations! :D
|
Well the events of 15 - 10 years ago stay in the memory of those old enough to remember them - on the whole I assume that the obsessive Tolkienism of downers does not preclude an interest in current affairs :D - obviously a lot of downers are in their mid teens and I am not sure how much recent history gets taught in schools.....
|
Let's hope that their Geography books are no older than they are! But seriously, I do recall that history textbooks seem to avoid more recent events until they has been quite thoroughly digested.
|
Well I remember many text books being older than me - so much so that French friends boggled when I used a very antiquated word for a sweater, I might as well have said I was going to put on a crinoline! As for History - we only ever seemed to do the industrial revolution ....... :(

oh i know where that is...might be sent there with the UN if i continue my current career plan... |
And where am I from? That’s a difficult question. But with a simple answer.
That is, I come from good old Blighty! Britain! Britain! Britain! William Shakespeare: British! J.R.R.Tolkien: British! The Eiffel Tower: British! The Great Wall of China: British! Hookbill The Goomba: British! Okay, maybe that was a bit over the top. But there you go. More precisely, Lancashire, North West, England, Britain, United Kingdom, Earth, Milky way, East Universe. |
Ah see! It is a small world...and old, even if parts of its history remain a mystery, and others have been repeated far too often. (You may take that which ever way you like!)
At anyrate, it is nice to find common 'stomping' ground among this diverse and far-flung group! |
Just think it was an incoherent system .... also managed to study Macbeth four times ...... (and I didn't switch schools) nvm

You studied Macbeth four times, Mithalwen? In primary school, I managed to study 'The Turbulent Term of Tyke Tyler' at least twice. Twice each year that is ;) No, but seriously, we studied that book thrice, I think - rather spoiled the plot twist at the end, I must admit... :rolleyes: |
Funny, i'm in canada an my Social Studies book says "Canada Today" so i just wrote on it 'Five years ago' becaue it really was made in like 1998 or so...

[QUOTE=Amanaduial the archer]No-o. Sadly not always the case. When I stopped Geography two years ago, my text book still had the USSR, Czechoslovakia and a divided Germany in it. A leeetle bit out of date, methinks...
QUOTE] Germany was still divided when I did my school exchange :( And my geographical map of africa was hightly innaccurate - since the atlas at home dated form the 50s and so it had Rhodesia and Tanganika and so forth :o At least it was marginally better than my early 20th century set of "People of all Nations" ...beyond imperialist.. :( |
Some of the more recent history books do have the more current events, but since teachers seem to think that anything more recent than the Roaring Twenties is not cruicial to our learning, they plan the curriculum so that come June, we've just gotten into WWII. I did look ahead in last year's history book though, and found a short paragraph on September 11th. It was dwarfed by the incredibly huge picture of George W. Bush shaking hands with a foreign guy that I don't know the identity of.
Now Biology books... those were great. "It is the year 2005 and a silver space craft has just been launched and is on the way to our new colonies on Mars." Not. Even. Joking. As for my location... I love it. Everybody should move to middle-of-nowhere New York. It's beautiful, and unlike last summer, this spring is warm. And sunny. With a warm breeze, budding trees, and flowers blooming everywhere. And if you look closely you can see muskrats swimming around in the old abandoned canal (that by all rights should not have any water in it right now. Thanks a lot, neighbors who leveled their land and tossed the excess earth into the drainage area). Ah, and the mosquitos that hover in clouds in my back yard... They breed in the canal, you know. But yes... move to New York. Regardless of the mosquitos and the spring-y smell of manure being spread on fields... it really is quite pretty. Reminds me of the Shire, when it's warm and sunny like it is now. Fea [who's running off to look up the history and location of Croatia] |
I discovered Saturday it's the beginning of sludge spreading season here. Funny that I can't picture the Shire smelling quite so rank.
|
I'm with Fea and all the t-shirts that tourists can buy every ten feet in NYC: I [heart] New York. It's got everything. The lovely central regions where Fea lives, the heinously snowy part near Canada where I'm probably going to college :eek: , Long Island, Land of Suburbia, and a big, smelly city that's loads of fun.
If there were a happy medium between central NY and NYC (NOT suburbia, that doesn't count) then I would move there straight away. The perfect combination of quirky city bustle and nature would give me a permanent home. |
Please spare a thought for the poor teachers who have to work with outdated textbooks and so forth, because so much money (in my school at least) has been spent on computers and swanky cyber-cafes.
Don't misunderstand me, I love my pc and find them a valuable tool in the classroom, but they will never replace books. I have been incredibly self-indulgent this term. I am reading 'The Hobbit' with a Year 7 class and 'The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents' by Terry Pratchett, with a Year 8 group. They are enjoying both books and I often have to shut my classroom door in case their laughter disturbs other classes :D Oh, just noticed the title of this thread...I live in the North-East of England. |
Oh, I am sure that teachers are not to blame. Just too bad we can never seem to catch up with ourselves. I suppose that it is no use wishing for everything to stay as it is until we can document it! ;) And bless you for sharing your love of books. I suspect that they might be your own choice. :)
