I'd say all names in the US stolen from elsewhere in the world.

I don't think they're the "most common" anything. 

I'm stumped. I did google, and found this- not the answer, but interesting:

My money is on mnottertail, to get the answer.

Towns in England?




LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (11/8/2009 2:01:17 PM)

DCNovice; not exactly, (some are counties) but in the "spirit of the law", your turn!  Places names in England that just happen to be names of US Presidents.

Indian tribes

*edit* oh- duh.... 

They are all out of the same region?




dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (11/8/2009 2:12:43 PM)

True, but there's more to it than that.

They're all from east of the Mississippi, and they were all "removed" to what is now Oklahoma. The commonality has to do with how white folks regarded them.




dreamerdreaming -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (11/8/2009 2:29:42 PM)

Well they are part of what were regarded as the "civilized tribes"- is there something more specific you are looking for?




LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (11/8/2009 3:11:00 PM)

They all had written languages provided by Christian missionaries which then made conversion possible and so they were not considered savage.




LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (11/8/2009 4:30:42 PM)

Maybe you're looking for:

They are all tribes that had their own formal governments and so "white folks" could make treaties with them.

That's it. They were four of the "Five Civilized Tribes."

Your turn, dreamer.

spiceguy2009 -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (11/8/2009 8:06:27 PM)

definition of Self-Esteem as measured by the Rosenberg Scale




dreamerdreaming -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (11/8/2009 9:10:47 PM)

Well shucks, that's a little too specific! [8|]

 I'll give it to you if you'll send me the link where you found that. The answer was: if you put "self-" in front of all of those words, they are synonyms for self-esteem. I hafta go to bed. What was your reference please, spiceguy?




spiceguy2009 -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (11/8/2009 9:31:44 PM)

Ways of preparing food 




sunshinemiss -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (11/9/2009 4:36:57 AM)

There's a Minnesotan way to prepare food?  I can hear Garrison Keillor now... The Norwegian Bachelor farmer looks at the food and waits for it to cook itself because he's been nervous around fire since that little incident when he was eight years old and his mother's favorite apron was set on fire and he had to throw his Kool Aid on it.

Come to think of it, he's afraid of Kool Aid too but thinks this will NOT in fact hinder his ability to woo a woman.

That's the news from Lake Woebegone where all of the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and the children are above average.
