Grammar

Well you're supposed to put "an" instead of "a" when the next word starts with a vowel...as an encyclopedia, wouldn't that trump "popular usage"? - Aerobird 15:27, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're supposed to put "an" when the next word starts with a vowel sound. Unique starts with a consonantal Y sound. —Keenan Pepper 17:08, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Extent

"The Red Hills extend from the Aucilla River on the east to the Ochlockonee River on the west"

This doesn't seem to square with the depiction on the map, on either side...? - Aerobird 13:00, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unless it is a different range of the same name, the Red Hills also run through southern Alabama. This would make the extent listed entirely inaccurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.19.15.15 (talk) 04:55, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The map is unsourced, except as being based on the creator's own "rough drafts." I agree that it is misleading in that it defines the region more narrowly than descriptions I have read. I am removing it. — ℜob C. alias ALAROB 15:13, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In at least one scholarly source, the "Red Hills physiographic region" is defined as the area in northern Florida and southern Georgia bounded by the Ochlockonee and Aucilla rivers and the Cody Scarp. Figure 1 on page 2 of the Cox, Baker, & Engstrom paper resembles the map you removed.^[1] A map in a blog also resembles that map.^[2] There are other areas in the U.S. that are called "Red Hills", and colloguial use in Florida may include a wider area in the "Red Hills region", but the first source cited above does define the "Red Hills physiographic region" fairly narrowly. (The blog is not usable as a source, but it does show that the narrower definition of "Red Hills region" is also in use in northern Florida.) - Donald Albury 21:16, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
