    Florida. The Sunshine State is Florida for those who don’t know, don’t care, or hate it when authors use nicknames for some proper nouns and actual names for other things in the same category.

    It’s petty, I know, but just use the words we all know for fuck’s sake.

    Edit: I’m not calling out the OP (thanks for sharing this!), these words that bother me appear in the text of the study.

      I thought florida was, much to the amusement and dismay of people with brains in their heads, as the “education state” now?

      also doesnt arizona get more sunshine than any other state or something like that?

      State nicknames are stupid. IL is “land of lincoln” but he was born in kentucky 🤦‍♂️
