    Why do so many Europeans seem to think the whole country is Texas?

      I imagine the same reason so many Americans think of the UK as just London, or France as just Paris. I don’t know what that reason is, but I imagine it’s probably the same reason.

        Honestly I can’t get Wiltshire out of my head. Rhotal rs? What? They sound like they’re from New England until they say something that makes my brain twist. I love it.

      That’s not true America is Texas, Florida (if it involves alligators or trans-hatred), California, Las Vegas and New York. Everything else is irrelevant.

        Massachusetts is literally the most significant state. It’s a forest with health care. We’re basically elves.
