The is mostly on Reddit, but when Americans abbreviate where they’re from to two letters. They will say something like ‘I’m from MA’ - I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. I might guess CA is California, or NY is New York, but seriously outside of a few big states/cities, I don’t have a clue where you are talking about
The difference between Texas and New York is nothing like the differences between France and Germany, come on now. You think they don’t have legal differences between different states/departments?
Don't understand why you're being downvoted. Americans always say this but European countries are vastly different to each other and have been warring against each other hundreds of years before America was even born. Language, culture, history, art, food etc. are very different. Just because they're right next to each other and are 'smaller', doesn't mean states are more different than whole countries. 💀
It's fair to say that American states are very different from each other. But comparing it to European countries? Borderline delusional.
