Lee (who has always caught shit because my pronunciation and enunciation of words has always been rather precise...unlike my typing!LOL) ----Original Message Follows---- From: Gina Kovach Even within the U.S. people have different words for stuff...Like here around Cleveland where I'm from, everyone says "pop," whereas in other places depending where you are, it could be called "soda," or "Coke" (even if you want Sprite), or "soda pop..." etc. Not only that, I remember hearing somewhere that when us Clevelanders talk, we have the closest pronunciation to how the dictionary shows the words. Interesting, huh? ~*Gina*~ _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com To unsubscribe or change your preferences for the Creed-Discuss list, visit: http://www.winduplist.com/ls/discuss/form.asp
