    Mississippi born and bred. However, I'm tired of living here. I bet if I moved though I would greatly miss it. "Grass is always greener..."

    If I have to be familiar with all 50 states, naming a province (if necessary i.e. if you are from Thunder Bay or something small or more isolated like that) should be fine for everyone else on MFP since none of the Americans wrote "Columbus, USA" for example.
    I'd bet many Americans (and I'd venture to say most) can't name all 50 states, let alone the 13 provinces and territories of Canada ;) I can only remember 10 total.

    I think most people would know, say, New Brunswick for example, as a Canadian province, though, even if they couldn't locate it specifically. But some would might guess it as being in England or something.

    As per the US users typically not posting their country, It seems that on this board we're most prominent, and I think that Americans assume we are on any board. Usually we are, too, I think.

    Lastly ...

    CA - California
    NY - New York
    LA - Louisiana (potentially it could be LA, but given that she only listed the states of residence in the other instance, it makes sense to follow the trend)
    MO - Missouri
    KY - Kentucky
    PA - Pennsylvania
    TN - Tennessee
    DC - District of Columbia (but you probably knew that one already, too, haha)

    I had no idea that these are all states, I don't actually know most of the states and only know of famous ones. I did not know abour District of Colombia? Why would I? I thought Colombia was a country in South America where they grow coffee? I had no Idea it was a place in America as well.

    We didn't learn the various different states in geography. Just where America is, on the left side of the map :-)

    District of Columbia is the nation's capitol. A.k.a Washington D.C. (Although it's not in the state of Washington) It doesn't make much sense, I know.
