A pet peeve

Please do not refer to California as "Cali."

"Cali" is a city in Columbia that is notorious for being a cocaine trafficking center. I really can't imagine anyone in California who gives it a little thought wants the state to be associated with that.

If you must abbreviate "California", why not just use the postal abbreviation: CA? Please?

Thank you, that is all. Carry on.

I actually like "Cali" -- but only when LL Cool J uses it as part of "Going back to Cali." :-)

Well, personally I don't recall ever hearing "Cali" being used as abbreviation for the state.

For me, it's always been seen in web forums I read.
