A few things on this one: St Petersburg (Florida) shouldn’t be in the quiz like its Russian counterpart isn’t. But this last one appears on the European one and shouldn’t either if you want to keep consistent and spell the word Saint. Tlalnepantla de Baz (Mexico) shouldn’t also be here. What should be here is Cagayan de Oro (Philippines) and not on the 7-word quiz as it is. Ufff…

fixing – St Petersburg, RU will be added to this – I use ‘St’ as the spelling in US/Russia when that’s how it is spelled typically on Wikipedia and the like…French cities, etc use ‘Saint’.
