Correction: But it still existed as a place. It had been known and inhabited and explored for hundreds of years. Somewhere doesn't have to be a US state for someone to want to visit it.

Correction: Data's use of contractions in the future demonstrates that he has evolved further towards his goal of being more human.

Correction: As you point out, this is in the future. A future where he has mastered emotions. It's assumed he's overcome the contraction limitation as well.

While I can agree that is possible, I find it a bit unlikely. My reasoning is that this occurred in the possible future presented by Q, because he was taking Picard through time. In Generations, he had taken Soong's original design for the emotion chip and improved it. However, he still was not using contractions.
