[quote=Anonymous]I once gave a friendly lecture on DC history to a saleswoman over the phone taking my order. She asked for my address: first my city ... and then my state. Can you guess how the conversation went? City? Washington. No, what city do you live in? Washington, DC. The city is Washington. Oh, OK. State? Um, DC. You put DC in the state part of the address. Really? I didn't know DC was a state. Gaaaaaaah!!!!!! Another time, I overheard a family arguing in a rest stop parking lot about which state license plate people who live in Washington, DC would have (this after one kid asked if anybody lived in Washington DC). I walked them over to my car and gave another friendly lesson, taking care to point out the "Taxation without Representation" part. It's bad enough that most of the country doesn't know DC history. It would be ridiculous if kids graduating for DC high schools didn't know it.[/quote]
