What is the difference (in usage?) between "Texans" and "Texians" ... other 
than the fact that Eudora marks "Texians" as being spelled incorrectly. 
(And, I just noticed that Eudora also marks "Eudora" as being spelled 
incorrectly. Go know!)

Dave, Northern New Jerseyan, or, maybe Northern New Jersey-ite..and born 
and bred Brooklynite, and, therefore, New Yorker. (most of which are marked 
by Eudora as being spelled incorrectly.
