	Hey Sporclers. As usual, I welcome your comments. Be kind, I am a feeble typist. Are the clues too easy, hard, just right? Do the colours explode your cerebral cortex? Any glaring omissions? Thanks

	My eyes!

	I agree about changing the colors. Also, Ive always known it as St Maarten. Its shared by the Dutch, ought to allow the Dutch spelling.

	Watch your spelling on "Napoleon." Purple and gold makes me think Mardi Gras, which makes me think New Orleans, which makes me think "New Orleans Saints." Coincidence? Perhaps not, because I think the color scheme has cooked my visual cortex.

	@y2jdilemma Corrected - it did take Sint Maarten, but I forgot the abbreviation @HPZ - thanks for spellchecking - some words you think you know how to spell all your life and then find everythin you know is wrong

	I tried typing in Mount St Helens, I think it should be acceptable but its up to you.

	caramba:	Oct 12th, 2009 at 15:22 GMT	3 points
	@brianmcp I checked the data and that is an acceptable answer - maybe a typo? There are actually about 9 acceptable combinations of Mt/ Mount Saint/St Helens/Helen's

	Tiny finicky little point, but St Pauls is on the highest point of the City of London, that is to say the square mile in the middle, not London as a whole. I was thinking "what did Wren build on Hampstead Heath?" Just chuck in " the City of" and you're fine.

	I like the quiz, but Santa Fe is not named after a saint. It means "Holy Place."

	caramba:	Nov 4th, 2009 at 19:49 GMT	2 points
	@waterjoe - Noted. I have removed Santa Fe and replaced it with a different US city. Thanks for that. I guess I never questioned who St Fe could be.

	This saint half bad! Another highly enjoyable quiz.

	San Salvador is another one where "san" (shortened from "santo") means "holy" - in this case it's "Holy Savior", who isn't technically a saint either. Also, referring to something as a "western California" city is kind of... well, most major cities are western, with the remaining big ones being in the central valley. I don't think anyone here would describe them as "western" cities except in the larger context of the whole country. Within the state, cities are far more likely to be described as "northern" or "southern", and Santa Monica is definitely southern California. Otherwise, very fun quiz and I quite enjoyed it :D

	I accidentally jammed the spacebar and Saint-Tropez popped up. You may want to fix that.

	maybe add a couple of different spellings for Mount Saint Helens
