Yeah, this same "ten-square-mile" - as some have described it - town. The people who describe it that way need a spanking. Anyone who fails to distinguish between "ten-square-miles" and "ten-miles-square" and then includes that failure in something they write and publish should be spanked, publicly. Or should that be "publically"?
Is it only that I hear "
Dishtrict of Columbia" whenever the Mayor refers to
her my fine city by its name, or does she really pronounce the word "district" that way?
