Greetings to Korea. Maybe the paper should just stop using the word altogether. It makes you were there a Flickrvision/Twittervision of people saying ridiculous words, all geocoded and mapped up.

The Times ALSO lacks a style for the word "accoutrements," spelling it both that way AND "accouterments." Yeah, it bugs me. So what?

p.s. Hi from Korea!!

I stand corrected and offer an olive branch to the Times editors. :)

Zmonica, I have to apologize and stick up for the Times there. What I failed to excerpt was a previous reference to Union Station, apparently reference here. But the whole graf obviously doesn't read great.

With Bolt Bus, Jess, I can only imagine what Communist underpinnings are keeping that proletariat labor experiment going.

Yes, but the bus still got me back and forth for less than $40, no traffic, no parking and a STRONG wi-fi signal!

Eh-hem, NYTimes, where are your editors? A quick trip to wmata.com confirms that 'Metrocenter' should actually be two words and is home to not one, not two, but THREE colorful lines!
