When I hear "prairie" I think of The Great Plains and states such as Kansas.

When I hear "swamp" I think of the marshes and other wetlands such as The Everglades of Florida and the bayous of Louisiana.

What amazes me is the spin put on language today. Recently I needed to replace a HVAC in a home. The guy who came out to do the estimate (and he was capable and good) was titled a "Comfort Advisor" on his card. My estimate of four grades of units was titled "Investment Options". LOL!!!
