Comment on How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"?
Yawnder@lemmy.zip 8 months agoThe average non-Usaains knows way more states than the average Usaains knows of foreign states/provinces.
Not knowing about where Delaware is relatively to Idaho is not the same as not knowing that Sudan isn’t in South America.

Some non-US folks know more about the states than US folks
For instance, I have no idea where Delaware is. Northeast, right? There’s like 30 states in that top right corner

I don’t know where it is. I could look it up, but I would guess… Idaho would be middle almost all the way north and Delaware somewhere south-west of that. I don’t think Delaware was in the original 13 colonies and I don’t remember seeing any mentions of it between Quebec and Florida when I went when I was 9 😛

Oh, wow, it’s way more east than I thought. With all that meaning around about it, now I’ll remember!
