Stop that shit right now. There is no such place as "Washington, DC." It's the District of Columbia, or if you wanna be pussies about it, it's Washington.
Stop the insanity now. No wonder we won't get statehood.

Don't you live in the city of "Washington" which is IN the "District of Columbia?" Like living in the city of "Austin" IN the state of Texas or living in the city of San Bernardino IN the state of California?
Geez. Hipsters getting pissy. Pretty soon you'll be wanting the right to vote. We'll throw you a bone. Look! Look! Jeff Tweedy SOLO DATES! Look! You like that don't you!!! Good dog!

You are just flat wrong. Do you even live here? God, I hope not.

Who gives a **** what it's legal name is? Everybody calls it "Washington, D.C." All those politicians aren't trying to change the "District of Columbia Culture." If you get elected senator, you don't say he/she is going to "The District of Columbia."
Get irritated by minutiae very often? I'm GLAD you all can't vote. I don't want people as stupid as you effecting the direction of this fine country.

That's affecting. If you're going to call people stupid, use English properly.

Loathe as I am to propel Brian to success, "effect" can be a verb meaning "to bring about" or "to achieve".
Brian effected his BLT by securing appropriate measures of bacon, lettuce and tomato.

Yes, but you don't "bring about the direction of the country," (and you don't "bring about a BLT"). Effect can be used as a verb but that's the wrong way to use it. That's alLz I'm sayin' dhoude.

Actually, the correct name and most accurate description of our capital city is;
"THAT FUCKING SHITHOLE"

Who gives a fuck what everyone else calls us? Like people are just going to conveniently pass over the District because it's not called "Washington, DC." The only entities in the world that refer to this FUCKING SHITHOLE as Washington, DC is the Post Office and the DC DMV.
It's either Washington or the District. Not both.
Hopefully Stewart and/or Colbert will address this on Saturday.

One of my pet peeves is when someone uses the name within a somewhat vague reference and mentions 'Washington' but doesn't point out specifically whether they are talking about Washington State or Washington, DC. I hear this in movies or on the radio sometimes and it's not always clear which they mean. Obviously, some references need no distinction whatsoever but others could use a little help.
Ex: 'Maybe a trip to Washington would make for an interesting vacation.'
WHICH Washington!?!?!? Give us a freaking clue! They're both interesting.
No help needed here though:
A Californian says: 'Maybe I'll drive up to Washington for the day and pick some apples.'
Anyone says: 'If it weren't for the idiots in Washington, maybe the rest of the world wouldn't hate us so much.'

So when I want to send my monthly Glamour Shot to Seth and staff for their review, I should or should not address my letter "Washington, DC 20001"?
