Sahara, or not

Dear Geist,
What’s wrong with writing “Sahara Desert”? I used to get
mixed up all the time, so I was super careful to get it right in a story I wrote for my summer creative writing course. I checked and double-checked, and did it right. My teacher marked me down anyway! I asked him why, and he said what he always says: “Do the research, figure it out.” I can’t! Can you?

Dear Kerry,
