Alright, I thought this was a nice fun topic! Laureen and Julie and I were talking about how different areas of the country say things... such as... in CA they say soda, as to where here in WA we say pop... lol. So, I figured we should keep this convo going since it's so darn interesting!

Hey Julie, Laureen? Is it true that over there, you guys call a drinking fountain a "bubbler" or something like that? lol...

LOL! Well you see, I'm learning Russian right now and I borrowed the CD's from my neighbor and the manual CD (the one explaining what to do) was giving an example of what different regions of countries call things... I must've gotten your area mixed up with another, lol. Sorry...

How do you (meaning, anyone) pronounce "probably"?
a) prob-ub-ly
b) prob-ly
c) prolly (I'd never seen or heard this before you posted in that survey Julie, lol)
Me? I say b. prob-ly.

The way I say it alternates between prob-ub-ly and prob-ly

It's weird how different countires refer to the same things differently. Or different states as far as that goes.

Me too! I think it's so cool how other people say things differently! But sometimes it bugs the crap outta me, because of how others say things that I think it's wrong how they say it, lol. If that made any sense whatsoever, lol.
