2. Guard rails or Guide rails?
3. Go to Prom or to THE Prom?
4. Rubber bands or Gum bands?
5. Soda or Pop?
6. Sneakers or Tennis shoes?
7. Groceries: GROSS-eries or GROSH-eries?
8. Vacuum or Sweep?
Just wondering...
Me?
In line, guard rails, the prom, rubber bands, pop, sneakers, gross-eries, vacuum
Have a great holiday weekend!
In line because you're not standing on top of it
ReplyDeleteguard rails because they keep you from falling into a ditch and don't guide you where to go
the prom because it's an event to go to not a thing you do
rubber bands (I didn't even know people said gum bands)
soda because I'm from NY
sneakers because I don't even play tennis
gross-eries because that's just how it's pronounced
sweep and swiffer because I have hardwood floors
In line (but I usually just "butt" in front of someone else! jk), guard rails , the prom, rubber bands, soda, neither tennis shoes nor sneakers...kicks!, grosH-eries (and yes, I know it's wrong), vacuum
ReplyDeleteHere's one for you Jen, pronouncing hammock: hamMOCK (emphasis on MOCK) or ham-uhk. My husband and I always argue about this...I say haMOCK (and even though deep down I know it's wrong, I'll never admit that to him!)
Happy weekend!
PS: the prom pic is cracking me up...have you see people posting about their own proms back in their high school "glory days"? I would love to see yours. Check out http://julia-transition.blogspot.com/2009/05/ten-years.html...just a thought. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your Feedback Friday. The last one on the neighborhood kid still makes me think.
ReplyDeleteAnyway...
In line.
Guard rails.
The Prom.
Tennis shoes.

I'm always caught in the middle with the gum bands/rubber bands and pop/soda debate. You see, I'm from Pittsburgh, but I now live in Cleveland. They say those one way there and one way here. It always makes for a fun conversation...
easily amused, here. :)

When I moved back to the South from the Midwest, I drove my sister crazy calling it pop, because in the South, everything is coke.
ReplyDelete"Do you want a Coke?"
"Sure"
"What Kind?"
"I'll take a Dr. Pepper."
I'm not kidding. :)

Oh and you left one off:
In the hospital or in hospital?
You got them all right except for pop... everyone knows it's soda ;)
ReplyDeleteOMG -- i love this post. this is the kind of minutia that i dig. :) my answers mostly match yours except i say soda. while i'm sharing, do overused quotation marks make you laugh? they make "me" laugh for sure.
ReplyDeletenice to find your delightful blog.
xo
i'm with you on everything except for the soda. and cyn...we only call them running shoes if they are specifically made for running, everything else is a sneaker.
