	The cities should be capitalized like "TX" for Texas and for massachusetts it's "MA" not "Ms". Also more variety, a lot of them are from California or British Columbia.

	Yeah... I tried going for more east coast bands. But most of them are all grouped together. East, multiple bands from one city. West, they're more spread out. But thanks for the abbreviation tip. I'll get that fixed.

	Also, you need to accept just "Washington," which is the city name, and not require "Washington DC."

	It's name is Washington D.C. for it is a District, free from state borders. It differentiates it from cities like Washington, Arkansas, Washington, Vermont or Washington, New Jersey. That's why you have to include DC.

	No. As a city, its name is still Washington, and it's Sporcle standard to accept it as such. Otherwise you'd be saying that you'd require "Long Beach, CA" to differentiate it from Long Beach, WA or Long Beach, NJ. It's inconsistent to require the postal code for Washington but not the others.

	Long Beach, NJ belongs to a state that contains other cities other than itself. The difference here is that Washington DC and the District of Columbia are one in the same and there is no other city within those borders. Anyway, you show me where it says it's Sporcle stanard and I'll change it.

	Every other published Sporcle quiz that asks for cities accepts just "Washington." DC is the postal abbreviation, and it's just inconsistent to only require the postal abbreviation for one of your cities. The sports teams are the Washington Wizards, Redskins, Nationals, and Capitals, not the Washington DC Wizards, Redskins, Nationals, and Capitals. The newspaper is the Washington Post, not the Washington, DC Post. People say "Washington" to be clear that they're not referring to Washington State, but if you're only asking for cities, there's no need.

	Agreed on Washington vs. DC: You should accept either, and not require "Washington DC." Why set up people to fail when they obviously know the correct answer? And along those lines, accepting "St. Paul" in addition to "Saint Paul" would be kind.
