	Great idea for a quiz. Challenging for me, but then again I spent the first half looking for countries that only started with A as well (don't asky why. No idea), then re-read the instrux and it got easier, well, a litle bit. Still tough. Just ended up naming all the countries I could that ended in A in the end. Still missed a bunch.

	Nigeria, no, doesn't end in an "a".... It would have helped if I went through all the countries in my head like I do for the countries quiz, I missed loads, like Australia....

	I fear it's a sign of playing to much Sporcle that I immediately thought "The United States of America ends with an A" then thought the capital doesn't, then thought "but its full name is Washington, District of ColombiA!!" Maybe that's first stages of insanity...

	Washington is the name of the city. The 'District of Columbia' addendum is simply a description of its location. It might as well be argued that Pittsburgh ends in an 'a'...'Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania'. The fact that Washington is frequently referred to as 'Washington DC' does not change the fact that 'DC' is merely the equivalent of a state abbreviation.

	So I go through all of Oceania and somehow miss Samoa... Sporclitis has struck me I guess. I also said Slovakia in my head but I ended up missing it somehow.

	I'd have thought there would be more -a endings among Spanish speaking countries. Great idea for a quiz

	Canada? A? A?

	Argh!!! Zambia! Maybe I would've gotten it if I hadn't a) started typing capital city and country and not understanding why Ottawa Canada wasn't working and b) hadn't gotten so hung up on Guatemala without looking at the "City" part of the capital.

	@xolkan: I don't think missing Samoa is a sign of sporclitis. I think the fact that you thought about countries in Oceania at all is a sign of Sporclitis. That said, getting Tonga and missing Australia would be a prime case of the disease.

	Brazil's capital is Brasilia.

	@Speedyjohn: True but Brazil doesn't end in an A.

	Ah. Point taken. I should think more.

	I wondered if typing in the capitals' names would work, so of course the first one that pops into my head is Bamako. I think I need some sleep.
