People here say pop instead of soda,
and on the news today I heard a hit and run described as,
a hit and skip
now that's just wrong.
the worst is the word "Please?"
not used in a pleasant exchange, Please and thank you and your are so welcome but instead as a local "Huh?" with the expectation that people from other parts of the country are supposed to understand that this means "Excuse me?" or "Pardon me?" or "Could you please repeat that?"
....all I really want is a wooderice.
