I don't believe that there is any, or at least any appreciable difference in describing geographic things between BrE and NaE.


I don't know of any such differences, but this is a concept that extends beyond geographic names and the differences were worth noting.

What if is a bar by that name? Or a park by that name? I would use a singular verb.

Are you teaching ESL in Costa Rica?


No, I play poker and do web development now. I was, however, an ESL teacher in Brazil.
