In talking about Washington DC, why do journalists often leave out the DC? Doesn't this lead to confusion?
Yes, I've heard that some people think Washington DC is in the state of Washington. Do you know any other reasons why people might leave out the "DC"?
Well, another reason might be that people assume others will know what they're talking about. Since Washington DC is the capital of the United States, it's a pretty well-known city.
