And this is coming from someone in, God forbid, Arizona??? I mean, in Texas, we at least know the demonstrative adjective "this" is only used for singular nouns, such as "Speaking of Arizona, this state has to have some of the least funny people I know." Whereas "these" would be properly used with plural nouns. As in, "It should be noted that his class will include several transfers from Texas and Illinois. Since people from these states are far advanced and superior to the folk from Arizona, five minutes will be all that he needs to cover the OBS/INT rules."
