In reality it is the other way around. I consider New Orleans to not be Louisiana. It is actually closer to being Somalia.

I just let it go now, but I always used to correct the typing out of it as needing to be L.A., but there is no point haha

Because "LA" is Louisiana's postal abbreviation.

Well, you can't distinguish between L.A. and LA (or La) in speech, and most people don't even make that distinction in writing.

Nobody I know in Louisiana calls it LA, so why would they be upset? Everyone I know who says LA in conversation means Los Angeles

56 YO and as of yet have never heard anyone say L A for Louisiana. In spelling, all the time. In speech, never.

L.A. = Los Angeles
LA = Louisiana

I’ve never heard someone from Louisiana say I’m from LA though. It’s just the postal code abbreviation.

I used to think of Los Angeles first when reading that, but I've been on SEC sports forums since the days of Rich Brooks and Tubby Smith in the 00s.

As a result, I've come to know many LSU baws on these here interwebs, and they're good folks. Also, frick California and their commie liberal bullshite on the whole.

Louisiana has my support on their claim to LA.
