Riddle of the Day

[Gizmokid2005]

Look at the sentence below and see if you can find the reason why all the 2 letter words have a common trait. What is hidden among the words in the sentence:


"Hi! Ma and Pa told me I'd better say that all the two-letter words in this paragraph have something in common ...... or else!"

ANSWER (congrats acoustikarl): They are all state abbreviations.

NEXT RIDDLE:

How do you write twelve-thousand twelve-hundred and twelve?

[Gizmokid2005]

I probably should have capitalized State, but I thought that might have given away too much of the answer.

OMG...I COMPLETELY missed that....wow...nice one

[TurcoLoco]

121212

[Gizmokid2005]

Nope.

[cauzomb]

with my fingers?

[cauzomb]

ok sorry:
12,000;1200;12?

[Gizmokid2005]

LOL!!!

NO, and NO. But you are getting on the right track with the second one.

[cauzomb]

ahh it is the other way then, due to the syntax; 12,000; 1,212 ?

[Gizmokid2005]

Nope, but even closer

[acoustikarl]

I know the answer. The number as it is stated in the question would never be sounded out that way.
