so iv notice a lot of people uses the phrase "the states"
examples are blah blah blah, when are you going back to the states blah
or blah blah blah, we dont have that in the states
but you dont really see native americans uses the word
and it sometimes bothers time when we say "the states"
someone enlighten me?
