Phi, that's right, by gosh! In those days someone from Virginia was "a Virginian". Well, dang...

It's a bit like that in Canada. I'd say that the Newfoundlanders and the Quebecois in particular tend to identify themselves first by their provincial label, rather their their national label.

And yeah, the Quebec situation puzzles us, all right. That's putting it mildly. ;-)

Amos, you are right. It's a non-issue that people are quibbling about here.
