As an American I just assumed Maryland because everyone knows every redditor is also American

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

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.

As a Canadian I also assumed this and for the same reason.
That and Americans really like to avoid comprehensible units.
