[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WAMU news seems to operate from a completely different style manual in the morning versus afternoon. One pet peeve for me is in the morning, they never identify the city as "Washington" anymore. It's "Downtown DeeCee," DeeCee this and DeeCee that. I even heard them say "when Congress meets again in Deecee,' when the name of the federal capital is not "DeeCee." In the afternoon, it's different, a smattering of "Nation's Capital," "Washington" and "DC" when referrring to our local ("Dysfunctional City") government,. [/quote] Actually the official name is the District of Columbia. There is no official mention of Washington anywhere, after Georgetown and Washington were combined into a unified District of Columbia a long time ago.[/quote] And when you alphabetize states and territories, DC comes after Delaware, not the Virgin Islands or Washington.[/quote]
