Why do people commonly confuse whether there are 50 or 52 states in the United States?
52 appears to be a popular number for some reason. The US owns several territories like the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Guam, however, not many foreigners know that, so we don’t believe that they are the reason for this assumption.
We suppose that since they don’t know how many states America has but believe that the number is close to 50, they guess that it’s 52.
Although, they might be counting Washington DC as a state, and we’ve been surprised to find that some people think that Canada is part of the United States, so maybe they’re the culprits.
Or perhaps they might be counting the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico as states. That could be another reason, though unlikely.
