Ok this is going to sound really odd - but was reading a Post from "johnnygray" and it jogged a memory of mine.

I was born and raised in Pennsylvania - since then have lived in Virginia - New York, and now in Georgia.

i have NEVER heard anyone other than someone from Pennsylvania refer to there state by the Initials.

I have heard plenty of Pennsylvanians refer to it as "P.A." - but have never heard anyone in New York call it "N.Y." or Georgia as "G.A."

Maybe it is overall name legnth - 4 syllables is long - but so is California - never hear "C.A."
Do North or South Dakotians call it N.D. or S. D.?

I am sure i am wrong - just an "Observation of a Doofus"
