Idk why I do so poorly on these ___ - endings.

The words just blur together as I run through them, and overlook things like Russia or St Lucia.

I guess my brain doesn't organize things phonetically or by suffixes.

There's a couple of confusing names when you speak several languages. For example Iceland or Belgium end in "IA" when translated to Russian (Islandia, Belgia).

Greece keeps coming to mind as well because it's Grecia in Spanish :)
