Google Maps is now labeling DC as "Washington DC"

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!

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.
