HelpRe: Alberta
in reply to a message by Adria
I live in Canada, but in British Columbia. I've been to Alberta once in my life, ostensively to attend a cousin's wedding (which was really just my family's excuse to go to the West Edmonton Mall, the largest mall in the world, lol).
That was some years back, and I only remember the province a little. I remember it was quite sunny and warm, and nice.
But as for the name Alberta itself, strangely enough it doesn't remind me of the province. I like it though, as I like old-fashioned names and Alberta sounds particularly elegant and regal to me.
EDIT: Typo: obstenstively -> ostensively.

It can also be "ostensively"
Ostensively: http://snipurl.com/cx7h.
Ostensibly: http://snipurl.com/cx7g.
So, hah, my sleep deprivation didn't screw with my spelling! :-p (Although I normally use "ostensibly".)

Hm, thanks. Never heard it, and it wasn't in Cambridge.

My bf is from British Columbia too, from Abbotsford. When I get to go back there with him soon (hopefully), the West Edmonton Mall is on my list of things to visit. :-)
