*US states

Why was that clarification necessary? In what context does “all 50 states” not apply to only the US?

Because there are other countries with states, like Mexico, Brazil, and India. Do you know how many states are in each country? Neither did I, until I looked some up. Mexico has 31 states, btw, and it’s causing my brain to itch with its odd number instead of even. There are no other countries with 50 states, but I didn’t know prior and now I have useless trivia folded into my melon.

Because there are other countries with states… There are no other countries with 50 states,

Exactly. So, what was the point of the USA clarification?

So if an article refered to ‘in the 36 states’ would you what country theyre talking about off the top of your head? ::: spoiler spoiler Nigeria is the only country with exactly 36 states :::

There are plenty of complains of the web being US-centric, that i think its perfectly fair to state, and not expect everyone from every country to know how many states, just because its America.
