I would generally agree. The whole their/there/they're issue is a question of sloppily writing the wrong homophone. My freakin' auto-correct does that on me.

I also find myself hearing the word in my head and then having to remember the correct spelling in the context.

Eventually, they'll merge into one spelling as people keep confusing them. Honestly, English could do with a huge spelling reform because much of it is not spell phonetically and is simply hanger's-on from prior versions of the language.

You New Englander's, so titled or not!, crack me up. One of your states is like the size of a single county out west.

Just for fun I used www.thetruesize.com to put all six of your "states" into California. Lots of room left over.

You left out 2 New England states.

Connecticut and Rhode Island are huge. I'm sure they'd fill in the gaps.
