Washington For Word Watchers

Authors

Christopher McManus

Abstract

America's capital city is famous for many features, including its architecture and monuments, historical associations, and ongoing political intrigues. Washington D.C. has been described as "the only place where sound travels faster then light." Unknown to the general public, however, Washington has several claims to the logological hall of fame. The following paragraphs attempt to dispel this ignorance and reveal the true basis of Washington's unique spot in the word lovers' pantheon.
