    From wiki for those not privy, A prime number p is called a Chen prime if p + 2 is either a prime or a product of two primes. The even number 2p + 2 therefore satisfies Chen's theorem. In 1966, Chen Jingrun proved that there are infinitely many such primes. This result would also follow from the truth of the twin prime conjecture. The first few Chen primes are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 47, 53, 59, 67, 71, 83, 89, 101, (sequence A109611 in OEIS). The first few non-Chen primes are 43, 61, 73, 79, 97, 103, 151, 163, 173, 193, 223, 229, 241, A102540. All of the supersingular primes are Chen primes. Rudolf Ondrejka discovered the following 3x3 magic square of nine Chen primes:[1] 17 89 71 113 59 5 47 29 101 The lower member of a pair of twin primes is a Chen prime, by definition. In August 2009 Twin Prime Search and Primegrid found the largest known Chen prime, 65516468355 2333333 - 1 with 100355 digits.

    I wish more people would do this when simply TALKING. Words are very powerful tools and carefully choosing those words when speaking, either publicly or in private, is just as important when posting typed words online.

    The only South American country where there might be a language issue being Brazil, since Portugese is not a common language in the US. Whereas Spanish commonly used by many people in the US, even to the point where in several states just about every place name is Spanish.

    The large number of Spanish cities may be due to the Spanish Conquest of the America's a few hundred years ago.
