[quote]I used to say “messi shoots it” for “ Massachusetts”
And I’m still not sure if I can pronounce “Connecticut”right
[/quote]
Well the thing is Massachusetts is not an English word.. It comes from a native tribe who called themselves the Massachsett..
Connecticut is from the Algonquian language a major native language in North America It's literla meaning is "land on the long tidal river" There is a river that is called the Connecticut River..
So both of these words are not English they are native american..

@Moon3624 Well the thing with the English they have been all over the world and they picked up words from every people they interacted with.. Everyone says the English imposed themselves on others but they don't think that the English where absorbing words foods and culture from every nation they mixed with.. The longer the English where occupying a place the More the English language expanded with other peoples Words..
