Project Colombia Lesson #1: HOW TO SPELL

So the first step in learning more about the country Im living and working in for a year, is how to spell it.

A lot of my friends, family and family friends love to spell it Columbia. Which is incorrect. The country which I am living in is spelt: Colombia... with an "O" after the L. Officially, its full name is the Republic of Colombia.

Some examples of the correct use of Columbia:
- Columbia University
- British Columbia
- Columbia Street in Waterloo


So the next time you go to spell Colombia... please spell it with an O... and NOT a U!

COLOMBIA
