10.9 State Your Name (Anika's Task)

[Kate S]

Read a book by an author whose initials in any order can be either the two-letter postal abbreviation for a U.S. State/Territory or Canadian Province. Examples: O. Henry=OH (Ohio); Ayelet Waldman=WA (Washington); Carol Rifka Blunt=BC (British Columbia); Anna Katherine Green=AK (Alaska). All initials can be used. Note: both "NB" and "NE" will be accepted for Nebraska.

Please discuss Task 10.9 here.

Wouldn't NB be for New Brunswick?

Yes, NB is for New Brunswick. I don't know the US postal abbreviations well enough to say whether it is accepted for Nebraska as well though. **> edit = I see the link above says NE + NB

[Bea]

Nebraska used to have postal code NB but it was changed to NE. The task creator is simply stating that this task will accept both for that state.

Great, thanks! I wasn't 100% sure that just initial names would count.
