Typically it’s only people from Louisiana that make this mistake. You never see anyone from the more educated West Coast doing this.

The state abbreviations haven’t changed since October 1963: LINK

Now notice how a properly educated, official Los Angeles mainstay abbreviates it: LINK

Wrong. Type in LA on Google. Hit maps. Where does it bring you?

Kind of like how South Carolina is USC and Southern Cal is just Southern Cal. Morons in LA think it's the "real USC"

Most places always seem to use LA for city of never being allowed out again and La for dismal state under the thumb of JBE. Same difference. Shitholes.

ETA and AL is a backwards shithole.

I get people in L.A. writing it LA. But when I see LA, I always think Louisiana.

Yeah USC is University of Southern California with a much better pedigree than the University of South Carolina which is essentially a diploma mill.

Personally, I hope he didn't mean it to be funny. It is a little thing that aggravates the crap out of me.

I know the difference between L.A. and LA.

Do you know what GFY is an abbreviation for?
