Why didn't they just say "in all states..." puzzles me. What other states can we be talking about?
Your neighbour, Mexico, has states for one.
Yeah, but no one actually lives there, right? And if they do, they're certainly not on the internet.
Most countries do.
Is that true? Why does Canada have provinces and territories anyway?
The person you are replying to is expressing surprise that the person in the screenshot specified "US states" instead of just writing "states".

All countries are states, and a good handful or so countries are federations which call their largest constituencies states, so Germany for example has states, as does Malaysia, as does Australia.
Edit: just reading now that there's no consensus on what a state is exactly, so, fuck knows.
Post is probably fake. Anyone that thought they were talking to another American WOULD just say 50 States, or all the States.
I reckon someone is using multiple accounts so they can "murder" something to make a point. I'm surprised they didn't throw some metric stuff in their to really throttle the pretentiousness.
