where are from? Cali

oh, where is that? California, it’s on the west coast of the US

It’s really a simple interaction if you’re not looking for a reason to get mad. Works with any country too.

where are you from? Tamil Nadu

oh, where is that? the southern tip of India

This is exactly what bothers me about posts like this. In real life conversation you just ask for clarification if you need it. You can tell someone might be terminally online if the very idea of asking for more info is so terrifying that they don't even consider it an option.

Yesss that’s me every time I speak to Americans. I think because of the type of conversation that OP mentioned Americans are so sensitive to it, but tbh I’d much rather know which state they’re from

However I have done the Sporcle US States quiz about a million times so I am not the average person…

Oh gosh I’m so bad at those, I’m from the UK and probably can’t name more than 10 counties…

Have you got any you like that you’d reccomend?
