It was mostly a joke, I didn't think people would get so worked up.

But yeah, I'll stand by the assertion that most Americans aren't great at geography, and some states have non-distinct shapes that aren't rectangles.

    I'd say I can kind of see someone getting Kentucky and Virginia mixed up, so I guess here are some general tips, throwing spaghetti at the wall so maybe it helps someone:

    • Virginia's hump is a lot taller (absolutely and proportionately) than Kentucky's.
    • Virginia is a Sonic the Hedgehog OC with peninsulas spikes coming off the back of its hump.
    • If you get it in the outline, Virginia has a small peninsula off its main east coast, called the "Eastern Shore of Virginia", which forms the tongue of the Delmarva Peninsula.
    • The elongate part of Virginia is sharp like a knife, while that of Kentucky is pretty blunt and bumpy like a fist. So Kentucky do the grabbo, Virginia do the stabbo.
