And the misuse of seen and saw bugs me too. Don’t get me started on To-Too-Two.... I've had to bite my tongue many times when my best friend says " I seen Mr Smith yesterday." But he is the same friend who pronounces aluminum as "Lunimun". This reminds me to comment about those I have seen spell the word tongue as "tounge". Quote Link to comment

I think pop is a more Midwestern thing (for that record, I refer to soft drinks as pop as well). I have a coworker from Alabama and he says everything down there is 'soda.' Quote Link to comment

Scarlet Overkill Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 It's almost culture shock when i visit the Midwest now and see in the "Pop" aisle in groshery stores. It's all soda out here in eastern PA. I have a pretty bad addiction to pop, and it shocks people when I say, "I've never consumed a soda in my life" -- because i only drink pop. Even tho, as the graphic above shows PA as a dual pop/soda state, i get laughed at when i say pop. Quote Link to comment

The Dude Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I still say people calling every brand of pop "Coke" is a hoax. Nobody is that dumb. Quote Link to comment

Totally depends where you are. Tx - all soda/pop is called Coke East coast all soda/pop is called Soda or tonic NE - all soda is called pop 1 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Not sure if this belongs here, but the word "combine" is pronounced the way you say it when two things are joined together unless you're talking about a piece of farm equipment. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Talking to a retired railroad buddy and he reminded me about how we pronounce Cairo, NE. It's pronounced like Karo syrup, not like the city in Egypt. Quote Link to comment
