I've never said "I'm from LA". I usually find enough energy to pronounce the other three syllables to say "Louisiana"

I know they mean Los Angeles when they say LA in an in person conversation. But online when they type out LA it does get confusing.

This is really only a problem online over text. No one calls Louisiana “el-aye” in real life. I make sure to delineate “L.A.” to tell the difference, but I usually just say “Louisiana” unless I am inputting in a postal code.

We know the difference between LA and L. A.
As to others getting them mixed up, depends on the news story I guess. "Guy rapes cow in LA" let them think Los Angeles.

I really don't care.

The two digit state postal codes are a touch over half a century old. I doubt anyone thought of Louisiana as L-A prior to that point. I have to think people have been calling Los Angeles LA for quite a bit longer than that.

Better than everyone thinking of Multiple Sclerosis when they hear MS

LA and La. Deal with smart people and it is pretty clear.

Said out loud it's perfectly reasonable for "L" "A" to represent Los Angeles as no one refers to Louisiana this way in spoken conversation.
Posted on 6/10/25 at 5:21 pm to UFFan
to the gumps, L.A. means Lower Alabama
Posted on 6/10/25 at 5:24 pm to UFFan
Our LA is simply a post office thing

I live 20 miles south of L.A.
This is the only place I write it as L.A., just to help you guys out.
