de rien
I'm too lazy (not yet drunk enough) and it is too late now anyway to change the addressee. ,-)
I did not - to quote you - "educate" you. I simply clarified.
And by the way and au contraire, to quote you once more :
"Serge the Mississippi is not near the coast, but nearly splits U.S in half, and flows into the gulf. Hence, East of Mississippi is considered Eastern U.S., and West of Mississippi is the West. The old saying "never been east/west of the Mississippi" is a southern term, as in Southeast/Southwest, not East Coast."
I would rather consider these lines as an attempt to educate me.
And, last but not least. "the Mississippi is not near the coast". ,-))
these statement is simply wrong. It is only true insofar as the Mississippi is not near the East coast. As far as I know, Louisiana has a coast line (little hint: Mexican Gulf). Please, don't take my word for it, but instead
