[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fair is fair. You’re not from DC. I can tell most of the time straight away; even before asking where do you live? What do you then, lie? It does reflect not so great on the original claimant. I noticed people smirk, and I know a number of people who won’t date people who are like that. It does suggest an inferiority complex.[/quote] Context matters. No one is telling a coworker here that they live in DC when they live in Burke. That’s silly. But when you’re traveling and someone makes small talk or a tour guide asks where you’re from, “DC” means the DC area. Good enough. Of you can’t see the difference, you’re oddly obsessed and you are the one with an insecurity issue. [/quote] You are making assumptions when you say DC that people know you mean the DC area. Why don’t you just say DC area then? [/quote]
