Not a single person here was confused between the Midwest and the South, and you're obfuscating to generate noise.

There's at least one person who shifted the discussion from the former to the latter (you). If you did so intentionally, knowing fully well the regions are completely distinct, perhaps you should consider your own role in generating noise before you accuse others of that. I do not believe it was unreasonable or obfuscating or noisy for me to point out that the discussion abruptly shifted to a totally different area of the country and that it was unclear whether this shift was intentional or an innocent mistake.

It's very funny to imagine the mental gymnastics you performed to confidently conclude that a person who has lived in the South must be confusing it with the Midwest

Just downvote and move on if you feel that strongly about it.
