| It's a test to see who pronounces it right and who pronounces it "Dooles". The native test. Backed up by Bowie MD. |

What I think is funny is that it’s a major international airport and I find it to be VERY difficult for non native speakers to say correctly even with practice |

The other airport was basically Washington DC National Airport at the time, so a Washington DC International Airport, nowhere near Washington, DC, would be confusing. |

Are you a Russian troll? Scratch that. They actually teach history in Russia. In person. |

+1. This kind of dumb is unique to American public schools and their focus on building self esteem, rather than actually teaching anything. The Russians and Chicoms don’t do that. They just teach. |
