The test function has some incorrect values: Nebraska and Nevada are incorrectly removed, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota and West Virginia are incorrectly left in.

I've fixed the problem and you're now the leader. Sorry about that!

A second test case is needed for this problem. 'New York Nevada' should suffice.

I added another test, similar to the one suggested. Thanks for the comment Richard!

Inconsistent behavior - if you are going to make a question like this, make it representative of what would actual be done and not some arbitrary undocumented rules like "replace a two-word state name with a space"
