Great quiz idea with a lot of potential for sequels. I had to think pretty hard about some of them.

Strange to see European and African rivers described American-style (XX River) rather than River XX.

I think the placement is pretty interchangeable in English usage. Sure there are examples like River Thames, where the 'river' usually goes first, but I've never heard 'River Amazon' used by an English speaker, nor have I ever heard that style used for any Australian river (Murray River, Brisbane River, Swan River all sound odd to my ear rendered the other way around). Asian rivers likewise sound odd rendered with the 'river' in front - I've certainly never heard 'River Yellow', 'River Mekong' or 'River Indus'. The Ganges usually just gets left without any river appended either side, but after seems the natural placing if it were. I think putting river first is more of a continental European thing, but is an archaic usage retained in relation to rivers in the UK, Europe and some particularly well-known rivers beyond (River Nile - and that one sounds just as normal in either order, at least to me). River Rhine or Rhine River both seem perfectly fine to me.

Also in general African rivers apart from the Nile sound more natural as 'XX River' to me - Congo River, Zambezi River...

I can assure you 'River Amazon' is the normal usage in the UK and 'Amazon River' sounds weird here. Presumably 'River Amazon' sounds just as weird to you. I guess we both have to get used to it...

I've lived in London my whole life and Amazon River sounds more normal to me. In general I agree with Findlay, other than that I think River Ganges sounds quite normal, as does Ganges, but not so much Ganges River, and to me River Rhine and Rhine River both sound weird, I would just say Rhine.

I feel like adding Jinghong City or Luangprabang to the Mekong clue might be worthwhile to bring that clue in line with the others in having three settlements listed. Personally I'd suggest Jinghong as it is the larger city, avoids having two entries from Laos, and means that China, the country that half the Mekong is in, is represented.

100% right - as I learnt decades ago in the oil industry, don't call it Persian Gulf in Kuwait, Qatar, UAE, etc. - you may be on first dhow out of town!

I wouldn't say that Gothenburg is anywhere close to the North Sea. There are 2 bodies of water in between. Skagerrak and Kattegat.

Think about what you've said for a second. Nobody outside the USA calls it that, and I think most Americans call it the Gulf of Mexico. I didn't need to check your profile to know you were American, but was surprised to see you've been to more than one country. All that not to mention this quiz was last updated in 2022.

it should still count though the same way turkiye should count as a spelling of turkey. It's our gulf we can call it what we want.

Mexico borders more of the Gulf than the US. Add in Cuba and the Gulf is less American than not-American. If we wanted to rename a gulf for the sake of nationalism we could rename the Gulf of Alaska, which we own almost entirely, to the Gulf of America. Renaming the Gulf of Mexico was a childish move done for nothing more than cheap political points from the people clueless enough to think that it's some kind of meaningful win or that it makes America look better, and it's a decision accepted by nobody other than a portion of the population of the United States. grow up
