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

In addition of, or instead of saying the United States?. Like dude, the state of Texas is bigger than Japan. The state of Wyoming and 10 other states are bigger than the U.K. it's almost 3000 miles from one coast to another. Like...That's why. I'd say U.K, etc. or name of my country if I lived in a smaller country 🤷🏼 idk that's just me. Meh.

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.😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Nah I don't badmouth other states. Though I do call city people "city slickers" cause they usually don't have common sense xD

@pride49 That makes perfect sense. Different environment, different skill set. I wouldnt dump one of our country people in the middle of a big city and expect them to drive..But I am aware of a lot of inter regional rivalry between rural folk, bible belters and East Coat V coast and North west is different from Texas.. (Whichh is almost middle size by our standards.)😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Eh I just get anxious driving in the city. Still haven't seen those diamond lanes where only families can drive on them I learned about in drivers ed.
