Has any one ever called you an Indianan?

According to the news today the federal government has approved calling the citizens of Indiana Hoosiers. Apparently, up til this time, official documents have referred to us as Indianans. It must be so because, when I typed it out, my computer didn't auto correct it. I have never, to my knowledge, been called an Indianan. They also made it clear that the term Hoosier applies to anyone who lives in Indiana whether born here or not. That's reassuring since I have lived most of my life in Indiana but was born in Maryland. Does that make me a Marylanden? No, spell checker doesn't like that. I guess I'll just be proud to be an official Hoosier.
