Eyyyyy. As a Marylander, I was very confused as to why we are measuring area in relation to Maryland

Americans will measure is anything but the metric system

Same. Everyone knows that Rhode Island and Texas are the measurement states

Arghhhh. As a non Marylanderer, I am more confused as to why you haven't been using the marylandtric system in relation to area. Like I bought home yesterday, nothing big just a 4 bedroom-5 bath bungalow and when I asked the size the realtor just said smaller than a Maryland but big enough for a few Marilyn's if you catch my dick. We laughed for a few minutes and then I paid cash and left the gas station with a smile.

We are a very oddly shaped state.
