I always find it frustrating when people say “Washington is doing x” in reference to Washington DC (US capital) and not in reference to Washington (the state). I personally know people who were confused by this and didn’t know that Washington state existed.

If possible, please say the full name of Washington DC, or even just DC.

Oh I get it, it’s a bit like how it’s super annoying that America is used to refer to the US and American is commonly used to mean Estadounidense. Yea that’s frustrating.
