I personally know several people who have made that exact mistake, ending up in not just the wrong city but the wrong province by travelling to St John's when they meant to go to Saint John or vice versa.
- smnrchrds 6y agoIt's so easy to mix them up! Two cities, both in eastern Canada, in the only two provinces whose names start with New. To make it worse, both names translate to Saint-Jean in French. Iran has ~300 cities, town, and villages named Mohammadabad. Add Aliabad, Hasanabad, Hoseynabad, and Dehnow to the mix, and I don't know how people can find anywhere on the map. https://slate.com/technology/2014/05/longest-disambiguation-pages-on-wikipedia-an-investigation.html https://slate.com/technology/2014/05/longest-disambiguation-...
