Which state abbreviation always confuses you? |

My confusing abbreviation is MI. Michigan, Mississippi, Minnesota... What the hell? Which one is it?

2. MD--the first thing I think is, WTF? Then--which one is THAT? |
|
Then I remember that they abbreviated it that way so folks like me wouldn't get it confused with Massachusetts. Or Maine.

9. The A's have it for me... |
|
Particularly Alaska and Arkansas. AK and AR, respectively? If I see it already written I know which one it is, but if I have to address something that's going to either place (which, fortunately, I rarely have occasion to), I have to look it up.
I don't like looking things up. I want to KNOW.

10. Does anyone else use their state abbreviation in normal language? |
|
What I mean is that we'll say Pittsburgh, PA here....As in..
Pittsburgh, Pee Aayy. We say the abbreviation not the state name. Anyone else do that anywhere?
Baltimore, Em Dee. Paris, Tee Ex. Oakland, Cee Aayy.
Anyone?
