Utahns and Arkansans
The Salt Lake Tribune's report of a downed plane this morning caught my eye, not so much because of the story, but because of the use of the term "Utahn". I knew that people from my old home state were Missourians, and people from my current home state are Californians, but what do you call somebody from Connecticut or Wyoming? I found my answers at Geobop's Citizens' Nicknames Page, where they include US states citizens as well as folks in the Canadian provinces.
