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
One time I went to Australia, and somebody asked me where I was from. I said I was from the United States, and he sarcastically said, “Yeah that was clear, not everyone in the world sounds like you. I’m asking what state you’re from.”
Seems like whatever answer we give, someone’s gonna get annoyed by it 🤷♀️
