[quote=Anonymous]Doesn't it depend on the context? If I'm with...I don't know, a group of people/parents from my kid's elementary school where everyone clearly resides within a certain geographic boundary, and I'm asked "where are you from?", they're probably wondering where I'm originally from because they'd already know I live within the bounds of XZY Elem. But if I'm at some work event or something and there are people coming to the event from all over, and someone asks me "where are you from" they obviously don't GAF that I grew up in Connecticut. When I say "Washington, DC" they'll make the connection that I work out of our company's DC location. If I'm traveling and am making small talk with strangers on a tour or something, and they ask "where are you from"...again, they want to know where I LIVE/where I traveled from, not where I grew up. If someone answered questions in these contexts with their hometown...that sounds kinda spectrummy...[/quote]
