Exactly my point
When I was in college in PA, I met someone from another state (I forget which - maybe Missouri?), and I told him I grew up in New England. He said, "Oh, I've never been to Massachusetts." I was a little confused and told him I was from New Hampshire. Then HE looked confused and said, "I thought New England was in Massachusetts..."
If someone isn't from the northeast, I don't really expect them to know much about the area. However, people who are there KNOW their New England states and whether or not they live in one.
