More and more people in Ireland are saying the word “City” after they say the word “Kansas”. I like to think this is because I am a pain in the backside. Should they ever say the word “Missouri”, I will let you know, Kansas City. And then maybe I’ll broach the subject of North Kansas City and Kansas City North.

And then there’s Kansas City, KS.
I have noticed and been frustrated by the tendency of non-Americans to refer to Kansas City, Missouri as “Kansas”. Took me a while, though, to realize they aren’t necessarily referring to the state, but simply erroneously calling the city Kansas rather than Kansas City.
