->< RDU is the airport - It's like calling Chicagoland "O'Hare."

Well, Chicago is one city with multiple large fields, RDU is one large
field with multiple cities. I can buy RDU as a name more easily than
the converse. Then again, outsiders probably ignore Durham and Chapel
Hill almost as much as Midway and Meigs, so maybe both examples can fly.

What's to fight about? Some righteous, upstanding, good, chosen people
of $DEITY prefer vinegar-based (ALL HAIL THE ONE TRUE PORK PRODUCT), and
some dastardly minions of evil who will burn in some afterlife, don't.
