@ Jasper "How so?"

Um, by making absolutely no mention of the Delmarva peninsula. Is the author misusing the term Delmarva to suggest there is such a thing as a Maryland, Delaware and Virgina region? Half of the Delmarva peninsula is in the Philadelphia region, so it's just sloppy, confusing, and wrong. It would have been far less sloppy and less incorrect to say the Chesapeake and MD & VA coastlines, or the Chesapeake, Delmarva and Virginia coastlines.

The point being that "Delmarva" refers to a very specific land mass, and to use the term in manner contradictory to that specific land mass, especially when it spans part of the Philadelphia region and all of the Baltimore/Washington consolidated region, is incorrect.
