Why the fuck do Americans do all these annoying abbreviations for states? Imagine if all other countries did this for their regions, it would be impossible to discuss anything on here.
It's like an entire country running on early 2000s txtspeak.
>politics discussion with an American
>"yeah, [candidate] won AL, WY, HI, TX, WI, and WA it's looking like he's going to win ND, SD, BDSM, LGBT, NFL, BBQ, BBC, and FIFA too"
Ok, UK

Just because they have abbreviations it doesn't mean they always need to use them, its created for convenience sake, specially when your country is so big

>coming up with an abbreviation system for 50 fucking states and memorising it

>memorising it
1) You don't have to
2) We don't speak abbreviations for the states
3) The abbreviations are usually the first and second letter of the state's name. It's not mentally taxing at all.

It doesn't have anything to do with size. Loads of countries have more named regions than America does and manage just fine without it.
We only use it for mail tbqhwyf

I meant online. I didn't mean I think Americans from Washington walk around saying "sure is great weather we're having today in wah, isn't it?".
That's because you sit on 4chan all day.
No one verbalizes it, you dip

You use "didn't" instead of "do not".
I actually really hate it too, tbf
I wish that they were never created. I get a little bit autistically butthurt everytime somebody does it with my state. It just seems vulgar somehow.
The worst part is that I've started verbalizing them in my head when I read them.
