Why Americans are like this? Hi I am Bob I live in AZ, I am supposed to know what the heck is AZ ?

They don't tell the name of the country, they just tell you the state they live in, it's even worse when they give you two letters, hi I am Kevin I from NY, what is NY??

Because we forget that a significant amount of the membership is not from the US.

Just a presumption that you are too, but I understand your frustration

I'm from FL(orida) in the US.

@Pretzel Absolutely. We are so accustomed to people from across the pond believing they know more about America and American politics than even Americans themselves do. So, of course, we would expect them to know our state abbreviation codes at a minimum.
