They've been building Fords in The Rouge for over a hundred years. It's less than 10 miles away from Detroit city center.

I'm not sure your nitpicking distinction really matters here...

The Rouge? The plant in Dearborn?

Oh, okay.

This is like saying Brooklyn is not New York City. This is silly shit.

Dearborn isn't Detroit. I don't know why y'all are upset about this.

I mean, I do, being from Detroit myself. I just don't know why you got this twisted.

Also from Detroit. Dearborn is in Metro Detroit. I don’t know anyone who would nitpick this.

It’s strictly true but not colloquially true. Like how Amazon is in DC, but really it’s new HQ is in Arlington, Virginia.

That's a poor comparison because Brooklyn actually is a part of New York City, but I agree with your point.
