[quote=Anonymous]I've been in DC for 30+ years. Came for college and stayed (in the city the whole time). I don't use DMV, but my kids do sometimes. I'll never understand why people get up in arms about it...it's a term to identify the area - BFD. Also, those on DCUM who claim that only newcomers and corporations use the term have simply outed themselves as being out of the loop in terms of the different cultures in and around the city - do you even acknowledge that DC was a majority black city for more years than you've probably lived here, even if you're a "Native Washingtonian" - which you cannot claim if you were raised in Arlington or Bethesda...now THAT is a pet peeve. Don't claim to be from Washington, DC if your address has a MD or VA in it![/quote]
