My daughter has trouble at Colleges and Universities by being born in
Washington DC.  They just don't list it in there computers.
It's not a state, so is she an American they ask. At least they have heard
of Washington DC where the White House and Congress
stands and her birth hospital Walter Reed.  This little fact has confused
many a college computer operator and required some pretty serious tweking of
the systems.
