And if you're American do you honestly not just read that as 'me'??

Random question I know buts someone's profile said 'ME' in big letters and I initially thought ok, they love themselves...then realised it was a state :laugh:

    so do you read it as 'me' or do you immediately see 'Maine' as soon as you see the letters cos you know what it stands for so well?

    as far as i know, the only state which refers to itself as its postal abbreviation is Pennsylvania - totally acceptable to call it PA, pronounced Pee Ay.

    but for the rest, you just say the name.

    Ah right. That's interesting, I thought they all called themselves by the letters but that might be because I've seen things like I :heart: NY but I guess that maybe means the city of New York as opposed to the state..

    *throws head back and hollers* PA! That's my state! It's too long to get your mouth around so we abbreviated it.

    cold is a relative term.

    i've been there a few times and i didn't think it was cold. but they get a good deal of snow and their winters last about a month longer all told.

    i would compare it to Scotland for temps, if that helps any.

    Not all things long in the mouth should be abbreviated;)
