I love how the current title of this post just assumes that everyone lives in California.

There are other "Orange County"s in the U.S.

Do you get angry when someone mentions London that they didn't specify that it is London, England?

Because there are other Londons.

		Thank you for your interest in my emotional states, and you make a good point. However, I don't think these situations are the same. In terms of population, the biggest London is 9.1 million people and the 2nd-biggest is under 500,000. Quite a big difference! I think that's why when someone says "London" one can usually reasonably assume they're talking about the one in England, unless otherwise specified (or unless they live near a different one). The biggest Orange County is 3.1 million and the 2nd-biggest Orange County is 1.4 million, so the difference is not nearly as great. I'd even suggest they're in the same general category of size. In the context of a national/international website, it's far less clear that one of the "Orange County"s is so overwhelmingly what people refer to that its state need not be specified.

I live in a different Orange County, and this does not bother me in the least. Context matters! Headlines aren't supposed to have every detail in them.

It used to say CA which is even worse.. given that's a country code (not where this Orange County is), and also means various things in other countries.. the state of California for people who live in the US, for example. What are you thinking; US-CA-OC? (We're starting to look a little ISO)

Ontario, CA is a thing. Two things, actually, I guess.

		LGB is closer - but that has its own aliasing issues.
