[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Washington, DC. People away from here don't know what "DC" is.[/quote] They don’t know DC is the nations capital? [/quote] Get out of your bubble. "DC" is not a place, and it's presumptive to think that everyone knows what you mean, especially if you are traveling internationally.[/quote] Hold up, DC is not a place? What is it? [/quote] DC is a postal abbreviation. People from Virginia don't say that they are from VA (You're from the Veterans Affairs office?). People from Maryland don't say they're from MD (are you a doctor?). It's a regional affectation that we call Washington DC, just DC around here. If you leave this metropolitan area, most people don't know that you are talking about the nation's capitol. If you say you are from DC, they may think you're like Superman, from the DC comics universe. :-) Outside of this area, I say I'm from the Washington DC suburbs.[/quote]
