Yes, but you named one county.

Wow. you're even more pedantic than I am. OK. He did say "There are
counties" - plural. So, Inyo county is bigger than a quarter of the
European nations. Is that enough for you? Or will you define what "a
lot" is so we can determine exactly how many counties are bigger than
a lot of European nations?

From my home I can drive the equivalent distance of Scotland to Iraq
and never hear any language but English. I've studied 4 foreign
languages, but fluency disappears rapidly if the opportunity to use
the language isn't there.
