Louisville. Born there, and if lucky, will cease to exist there. I don't know Bellevue, though my work took me to Northern Kentucky and Ashland, a time or three.
wardenferry419:
I have spent most of my life in KY but have never been to Louisville or Lexington, the two biggest cities in the state.
morriswalters:
I've visited almost every part of the state. And I love it, as backwards as it can seem at times.

This is just about the only thing on the internet I contribute to for that very reason.

And yes, then and than are annoying, but not as much as your/you're :P

Because Europe has about as many countries as the U.S. has states (depending on how one counts), I've often wondered how many states can the European insulting Americans' knowledge of geography can name. I don't do a whole lot better at naming the states than I do the European countries. There have been a lot of changes to Europe's internal borders in my lifetime, and no noticeable ones in the States, so that's my excuse.
But it's so much easier to explain the difference between your/you're than then/than. Another one that annoys me was all my Spanish teachers failed to properly define bueno/bien as good/well. They defined them both as good, but used differently because so many native English speakers don't get the difference between good/well. I wouldn't be surprised if there are more subtle differences, but, on this particular, all my teachers failed.
