Kansas because of ICT.

Pennsylvania because you have to make a separate trip to a state-run liquor store to buy beer.

    I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me, a lowly Canadian, why Kansas is pronounced Kan-zis but Arkansas is pronounced Ar-kan-saw

    We don't even really know. This debate comes up a lot.

    Kansas was named for the Kansa, a Siouan tribe that lived in the region.

    Arkansas was named for a related Siouan tribe, the Quapaw. The Algonquians called them "Akansa," joining their own A- prefix (used in front of ethnic groups) to the Kansa name (the same root as that for Kansas). The Algonquians' name for the Quapaw was picked up by others, and was also spelled in various ways: Akancea, Acansea, Acansa. However, it was the French version, Arcansas, that became the basis for the eventual state name.
