You know that one post someone made, about complaining about why Americans say the name of their state

I agree. Although I live in a country the same area as the 48 states and we get by with 6 six states. (Including one federal territory. I believe Americans define themselves more closely with their state or region than they do as Americans. And ther often dont regard each other well. We dont see so much of that beyond a humorous commentary.😷

It takes me about eight hours of flying (not counting layovers and delays) to get from one coast to the other. I once drove coast to coast for a move (so no long rests, just camping/hotels overnight) and it took me about a week.

Exactly. The US is so big that saying "From the US tells you little about them".
Besides I ways find it funny and odd how little some people from other countries seem to identify with their region as opposed to their country.

I know I am personally extreme even for an American but I will always identify as a New Yorker first and American second.

Why would anyone complain about that lol. The US is so large that states literally have different climates, it would be like if I said I live "somewhere in Europe" to not mention the state. 😆

There’s probably been a few like that. No big deal to me. I live in Pennsylvania.

People DO as here.....but let the Uk-👀ers have their place in the sun..didn't see the post,btw

How about this one?

The CITY of New York has a larger municipal budget ($116 billion) than any municipality other than the United States FEDERAL government ($7.01 trillion) and the STATES of California ($321.1 billion) and New York ($254 billion).

That means the CITY, which encompasses five counties, has a larger economy than 48 STATES, to say nothing of four more counties within its borders than any other city.

That’s not any kind of boast. It’s just fact.

moreover, town / city names are frequently reused throughout the US (generally in different states, but sometimes the same place name may be used twice even within one state)

So Podunk Holler, US is rarely specific enough, it could be Podunk Holler, Arkabama, US, or Podunk Holler, Pennsyltucky, US

We have big states lol

When people say Paris, nobody is thinking “Paris, Texas”

Like, it's so cool how you Balkanized your "country"! No socialism for "y'all!"
That's "y'uns "in Pennsylvania. Y'all is fascist coast to coast. Let's small talk around that for y'all!!! Lolz.

So you’re agreeing with me… but you’re acting like you don’t
