St John shouldn't be an acceptable answer for the capital of NFLD. St John's is the capital of NFLD and St John is a city in New Brunswick. Two different places.
I agree, there's a lot of confusion between the 2.
Also, Johns isn't acceptable without St or Saint before it, even though St John is. The only one on the quiz that requires St to be typed. It might discourage people who think they're wrong.
I was gonna say exactly the same thing. All the other answers allowed just the other words (ie, the Saint(s) to St or St. part wasn't required). I was beginning to question myself, as o knew it was St John's. Time ran out and I didn't get the point. I also didn't get St Jude, but that's my own fault.
Saint Augustine isn't the oldest city in the US. It is, however, the oldest continually-existing, European-founded city in the mainland US, but that's so many caveats it's hardly an interesting fact.
This is doubly confusing since a city with a more valid claim to that title, San Juan, is also named for a saint and is not accepted as a type-in.
