One time a German tourist pointed at a VRE train idling near L’Enfant Plaza and asked me what it was ... I had to hang my head in shame ... “It’s like an S-Bahn but slower and less frequent and it doesn’t serve the suburbs on the other side of the city — but it costs more!” — PolitiTweet.org

An assignment for my kindergartener says that “commuter rail” is one of the kinds of trains (along with freight, intercity, high-speed, and rapid transit) and it’s sad to see the next generation of American youth having their minds poisoned by this garbage. — PolitiTweet.org

@kahlildozier Well you say “we know why...” and it’s true that *I* know why and that you know why. But my point is most people actually do not know. And there is a tradeoff between trying to communicate clearly and trying to be on the avant garde of linguistic change. — PolitiTweet.org
