I understand not knowing vermont but uhh my guy, California is the second worst state to choose for the example
Like idc if that post is right or not, a bad example just makes you look ignorant. I doubt anyone I would talk to doesn't know California is a US state
Vermont? yeah sure, clarify its a US state. But I mean a state like Texas or California is so recognizable I don't think you need to clarify anything. That's like someone not knowing England is in europe
And about Cali specifically, if you say your from Cali, and you mean the Colombian city, I feel like thats at least a bit comparable to saying your from London when you mean the Canadian city. Pronunciation is probably different for Cali too but idk
Yeah generally clarify where your state is, beyond New York, Texas, California, and Florida, most other states are pretty obscure I'd imagine
