Listen, Im willing to work with a lot of people who I dont see eye to eye with. But Michiganite is just too far.
A comedian in NYC called us Michiganites tonight. Where does that fit into your feud @ChadLivengood and @gretchenwhitmer?

Having lived in Michigan for several years; and, having, had many discussions there about the proper descriptor for residents of Michigan; I know that the terms "Michigander" or "Michiganian" are preferred. In fact, most of the people I knew preferred "Michigander." "Michiganite" is just plain wrong.
