Connecticutite, Connecticutan, Connecticuter?

Posted in travel blog

Yesterday, I was talking to someone who was from Connecticut and she was telling me what it was like to grow up in Connecticut. It made me think, which I bet we all have done many times in our lives, what the heck do you call someone who is from Connecticut? It is easy for me because I am from California, so it is easy to know a Californian, but what about the states that end with a consonant or an -ing? This made me think that I really don’t know the Demonyms for the states and really should probably look this up! I actually didn’t even know what the word was for “the name for someone who is from a state” (which is exactly what I put into my google search)! So, if you were or are in the same boat as I was yesterday, here you go!
