 Are you accomodating all the non-norwesters when you write 'Washington

state'? I never heard that phrase until I came to the Midwest. If you

mean the city with all the crime and where our government sits (some

might consider it redundant that I wrote both), ya say 'Washington D.C.

Also, "Vancouver" means the city in Washington that is really a suburb of

Portland. If ya mean the city in Canada, it's 'Vancouver B.C.' At least

that's what this Salemite says.

I drink pop and eat both green and string beans. String beans are a type

of green beans. String bgeans are the ones that are skinny, like strings!
