I am living in New York. I think everybody knows that it is a state of the northeast United States. It was admitted as one of the original Thirteen Colonies in 1788. First explored by Samuel de Champlain and Henry Hudson, the region was claimed by the Dutch in 1624 but fell to the English in 1664-1667. The building of the Erie Canal and railroad lines in the 1820’s and 1830’s led to development of the western part of the state and great economic prosperity, establishing New York City as the financial center of the nation. Albany is the capital and New York City the largest metropolis.
Also everybody knows that there is a York city in England. And then you can find a lot of place were named after the place names in England. There are New York, New Jersey, New Orleans, New Hampshire and so on.
I was thinking about the intellectual property issues. For example Japanese always yelled at Chinese about that Chinese copy some of the Japanese names. Did anybody ever think about the Kanji characters, which were most from China. I hope they quit using all the Kanji characters that came from China.
