What's your US score?
-
108, but it’s nonsensical. I’ve stayed in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont, but all within 60 miles or so of each other. But each counts for separate points… At the same time, I lived in Pittsburgh, but have stayed in Philadelphia which is over 300 miles and a completely different area of the country entirely, but that’s worth no points.
At the same time, I have lived in MD, DC, and VA but all within a 30 minute drive of each other. Yet I get points for all of those when they were all essentially the same place, and I don’t get points for staying in Roanoke…

So people who've lived their whole lives in one place in the US score lower than people who've vacationed in a couple spots a couple times. That makes sense. It's why everybody who wasn't born here and who has never lived here is such an expert in American culture.

You appear to be labouring under the delusion that a higher score is better, which is very American of you.
I was only joking

What’s the difference between stayed and visited? Or stopped?

I don’t think that is a fair characterization. I never labour in any way, under certain impressions or otherwise.

I wonder whether there's somebody who has lived at least a few months in every state.

George Washington, but it was easier then.
Lewis and Clark maybe
Maybe Barnum and Bailey
Johnny Cash or Ricky Nelson if you believe the lyrics
And at least 2 others here will point out Jesus Christ
