Washington means far too many things. You could mean the city, the state, the avenue, the president, the middle name of the inventor of peanut butter, maybe the airport if there is one, and so on. For a really long time, I thought that every Washington sports team was in Washington State, but they're all in the DC! It's craziness!
I can't fault the system that demands we name everything after our first president, but I don't understand it. Why is seat of our government, one of the most important cities, named Washington, while one of our most marginalized states gets the same name? We should rename at least one of them Reagan.
