If I moved to America and enrolled at an ESL class and saw this word, I would probably give up, pack up, and head right on back to the homeland.
GUAM
And the winner for best name of a U.S. state and/or territory is...drumroll please...GUAM. Yes, there was a contest, Guam won. Congratulations Guam! We salute you Chamorros!Guam (Chamorro: Guåhan), officially the Territory of Guam, is an island in the Western Pacific Ocean and is an organized, unincorporated territory of the United States. It is one of five U.S. territories with established civilian government.[1] The island's capital is Hagåtña (formerly Agana). Guam is the largest and southernmost of the Mariana Islands.
