Laugh if you'd like, but I orginally thought of the state as well.
If I told you someone just burnt Hamburg to the ground, would you immediately assume the city in Germany, or the city in Canada?
No, it's not very logical. But they didn't know there was a country named Georgia. It's an honest question, if a little ignorant. Honestly I prefer the ignorance to your prejudice.
What? States don't have cities now?Canada has cities ? I thought it was just another US state
