America Has 52 States, and other Typos

According to this press release, America has 52 states.

The new version of the online news specialist website, DailyTopStories.com, now delivers hourly local news from several valuable news resources for the whole 52 states of the USA.

. Fifty-two states? News to me. I guess you could call is 51 if you counted Washington, DC, and then throw in Puerto Rico just for giggles?

Just the same, their site only lists the 50 states, so I have no idea what I’m missing here. Thanks Barney for that link.

While that could’ve been some sort of marketing gimmic, it wasn’t as bad as this political screw-up: I know I’m not voting “Saxton for Governer” [sic].

Probably they also count “England” and “The Rest” in their list.

So maybe more bad editing than typo, but the Bulletin last week revealed that Bend has just 2 grocery stores east of 3rd street. Let’s see: Safeway (forum), plus Wild Oats makes 2.
No need to consider Albertsons, the older Safeway, or the Sentry?
I’d call the Sentry “Ericksons” but I’m not sure if that’s how you spell it.

Thank you!! It seems lately people consider incorporated territories are now states!!! Guam and Puerto Rico are not states, we only have 50! Man, what is happening to America. First we won’t claim a language and now we are adding territories as if they are states…what’s next!! Come on people!!
