The Empire State is New York State: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_State http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_State
Or did the article headline really mean the empire state BUILDING? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_State_Building http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_State_Building
- awarzzkktsyfj 15y agoLovely, downvotes. Guess we don't have too many New Yorkers in the readership here. FYI, you can't shorten the Chrysler Building to 'Chrysler' either. That's a corporation.
- cbs 15y agoNo, it's because you're splitting hairs when the message was obvious. They used 'height' not 'elevation', and it is common knowledge that the Empire State (Building) was once the tallest building in the world.
- awarzzkktsyfj 15y ago'building' is not optional.
- knieveltech 15y agoYour burning karma thinks otherwise. Go find another hill to die on.
