for Cambridge online, I discovered that there is (atleast) one in
Canada, and one in every US state! Since then I always write
Cambridge, UK when referring to Cambridge to avoid any possible
confusion.
Yes, but which 'Cambridge, UK'? The City with a well-known university,
or the small village in Gloucestershire?
I don't know who the original post is by, but it's not true that
there's a "Cambridge" (or a river named Cam) in every US state. Not
even close. A quick check shows, for instance, that there's no city
or town named "Cambridge" in Oregon, Hawaii or Alaska--the closest
one seems to be in Idaho.
