Re: Can't abide Canadian word?
Not really a word, but I wont say Zed, sounds funny and not natural for me, so I still say Zee.
For words, soda will never be pop for me. Where I come from pop is not used, and soda again comes naturally for me. |
Re: Can't abide Canadian word?
I struggled to come to terms with "dinner" but relented because "tea" seemed to confuse everyone. However, "supper" is starting to creep in to the household now, and I'm not having it.:sneaky:
So I'm bringing back "tea", much to the confusion of my kids. |

There are actually parts of the US where people refer to soda as 'pop'. I've heard many Minnesotans use the term to describe soda. But maybe this is just a result of their proximity to Canada.

My southern grandparents hated us using that word though |

Here is an interesting website listing maps and differences by region. I grew up in San Diego, and going to the NE US for example or the South feels like a different different country at times, things are different, same country, regional differences that sometimes are very different. |

Pronouncing the letter 'z' as "zed" sounds too odd for me to use in everyday conversation or listen to in math class. It's sort of distracting to listen to facts about general functions zed = f(x,y).

"Bring".
So simple, yet used incorrectly all the time. "Bring this home with you", "bring my friend to the cottage"... Aaaaaahhh, it's "TAKE" goddammit!!!! My poor daughter gets hounded about this every day, poor kid. 5 years of Canadian daycare/Kindergarden, and I'm on her every time she says it. |
