City Adjs. (Was: "Garden City")

[David Bergdahl]

<And things like Massachusetts/Bay Stater (in a larger domain). Here we
get
into the collateral issue of distinguishing the adjective from the noun
for
the resident. And really, I wouldn't call "New Yorker" an adjective
under
any circumstances. When you want to modify a noun to make it refer to
the
Big Apple (or to the State it's in), you just use the noun
attributively,
or (if you prefer to put it so) use the adjective which is identical in
form with the name: a New York deli.>

Raven McDavid used "York Stater" on occasion to disambiguate NY, NY from
NYS.
