[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you ever encountered a DC resident saying “I’m from Maryland” or “I’m from Northern Virginia”? In my experience, DC residents simply say where they are from; loving it or not loving it, they simply provide the place of residence as indicated on their drivers license. Despite everyone in the world being aware of Maryland and Virginia, you do find Maryland/Virginia residents say “I’m from DC”. I don’t know what to conclude from this distinction. The distinction is real though. [/quote] Yeah, as a DC resident I'm not offended when people from other states say they are from DC, I just don't really get it. How hard is it to say "the DC area" or "near DC" or "just outside DC"? Why wouldn't you just say that if for some reason you did not want to say "Maryland" or "Virginia"?[/quote]
