Interesting QOTD
1. Do you and YH say pop, soda, sodapop or is everything a Coke?
2. How do you and YH pronounce "aunt?" (want, ant, ain't or something else)
Re: Interesting QOTD
I'll start
1. I'm a pop girl, but DH says soda (weirdo Texan lol) So I'm curious to see what Preston ends up calling it.
2. I say aunt like want and DH calls his ain't. Once again, curious to see what Preston says.
Fun!
1. I say soda and DH alternates between soda and Coke
2. We both say ant.
1. We both say soda.
2. We both say ant.
1) I grew up saying soda and now say pop because it is the norm here. I switch to soda when I am back in New England.
2) Aun-T, DH says Ant.

TTC on hold until December
1. soda. (although DH says soder and it drives me bonkers)
2. ant.
This. I never heard it called 'pop' until I went to Penn State... and then it drove me bonkers as I had no idea what in the world people were talking about.
HA! My grandparents do this too! They were born and raised in the Boston area and a lot of words have "er" or "ah" at the end. Like car and bar....
This drives me crazy too! It's a sofa not a sofer... or it's an idea not an idear! Seriously, I'm not going to come buy a sofa from you when all I can think of is your advertisement calling it a 'sofer'. *end vent*
And I thought most people in eastern PA said soda! I know all my friends from Philly and Harrisburg teased me because they said soda and I said pop.
Now that I think about it, my parents, brother, nephew and I are about the only ones who say pop in the family. Everyone else says soda (weirdo Virginians lol)
We do say soda. But a lot of my friends at Penn State were from Pittsburgh so at first I had no idea what they were referring to when they said 'pop'.
I totally laughed out loud at this. I just spent my weekend with my 89-year-old grandparents and we kept getting into the "cah" to go to the "pahhk" and sitting on the "sofer" in the living room.
eh. I'm not one to talk. I say "about" like I'm a Canadian. I've never lived outside of the LA/OC area. I'm asked on occasion where I'm from at my local grocery store. Oops.
1. We both say soda....pop is a character on the rice krispies box
2. We both say "ant", but when I lived in SD, people said it like "want" all the time and would look at me weird for not saying it the same way.
GO! St. Louis Half Marathon-2:32:13
Omaha Half Marathon 9.23.12
1. We say "Coke" As in "Hey do you want a coke?" "Yes" "What kind would you like?" "I'll have a Dr. Pepper." If its carbonated and a beverage, its coke. Sometimes DH says "Soda"...its the Oklahoma coming out of him. But its rare.
2. We both say "ant." I say "Auntie" like "want" sometimes if I'm being silly and talking about my crazy Aunt Bobby.
1. Pop. Everything is NOT coke. I don't really like Coke, though. Then again, we typically call it what it is... "Do you want a Root Beer?"
2. We pronounce "aunt" like "ant."
1. I say soda, but when I still lived in MN I said pop. It drives my parents nuts when I'm back home.
2. I say aunt as in "want". DH says "ant."
