Are you a Floridian???????? ??????????? ??????? ???? ??????? ???????? Wyomingite? A Hoosier? If you're from a state in the U.S., you have a name. Even if you don't agree with it.
Debates have long raged on about what we call ourselves. Being from New Jersey myself, I'm a 100 percent certifiedNew Jerseyan (maybe a New Yorkerif I'm at a rooftop party in Brooklyn and don't want to seem uncool.) But it's a central part of our identity nonetheless, and all the stereotypes that go along with it. For example, oftentimes when I reveal my New Jerseyan origins, I am met with a classic "I'm so sorry." Or, "like the Jersey Shore, right?" Wrong.
But just because we're branded a certain label doesn't mean we have to like it. Especially when it comes from the federal government.
After viewing some debates on state resident labels, Twitter user Natalie Jackson went straight to the source to end this conversation for good: the U.S. Government Publishing Office Style Manual (PDF).

But this official list only set out to confuse and irritate even more people. Floridian?Excuse me? It is Florida Man/Woman/Resident respectively. The people have spoken, and the government is in the wrong.

If you're also wondering what's up with the "Hawaiian Resident" label, the government observes the term "Native Hawaiian" for the indigenous people of the islands.
So take it or leave it folks! If you want to fact check for yourself, or just feel more rage, the official document is here. Just don't judge a state by their peoples' names.
