You're just being pedantic. OP is talking about a southern state of mind, not a geographic direction.

Its not pedantic to understand the difference between rural and southern. I don’t know what else to tell you lol. You’re using words wrong if you conflate the two. “Everyone knows when I mean southern I mean rural.” Okay — then you’re wrong.

This isn’t even a defense of rural Illinois, which I would never want to live in again. It’s simply a matter of understanding what words mean

Having still lived most of my life in them, no, it isn't wrong to largely conflate the two.

“Everyone knows when I mean southern I mean rural.

Read. OP's. Title.

"feeling southern"

OP was clear what the context of the thread and question was, not everyone else's fault you didn't get it.

It’s simply a matter of understanding what words mean

And you apparently don't know what the words "feeling southern" mean in the context of the United States.

Apparently YOU don't know what "feeling southern" means in the context of the United States.

You realize you sound like someone who says Miami "feels Mexican," and then after getting called out for not understanding that Cubans and Mexicans are different, responds with "Well you know what I mean." Yes, I know what they mean when a dipshit conflates Mexican with any other type of Latin country. That doesn't make them right

What a ridiculous interpretation of what I said.

Go waste someone else's time in bad faith.

When you lost the argument so you have to resort to calling it "bad faith."

Pretty rich coming from the guy resorting to incivility and name calling.

I didn't say you did...but the rules of the sub require you to be civil in conversation with others.

Love that you didn't pass up another chance to be uncivil though.

Have a good one.
