Perhaps you have heard me or someone else in or from my state use the term "Michigander" to describe those of us living here. What a strange term. What is it? Is it a defined term? What is the source? It really is pretty simple.
In the eyes of the state Legislature, Michigander is the official term for the residents of Michigan and they have a bill that passed unanimously in both the House and Senate a couple of years ago to prove it.
Tucked into an obscure package of bills that
modernized the 1913 statute creating the Michigan Historical Commission
is a passage that strikes out a reference to Michiganians in favor of
Michiganders.
So, yes. It is legal. And the law! Now you know. You're welcome.
