[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 720248, member: 1550"] Oh! THOSE CIRCLES ON THE STREETS! They are suddenly popular in Wisconsin and I dont like them. We call them roundabouts (one word). I heard they are big in the NE. On how do we pronounce root, I use both pronunciations with the "foot" rhyme used more often. Annieo, I had also heard that in parts of the south all soda or pop (depending on what you call fizzy drinks) were called Coke! Now for me, growing up in Chicago, a soda was also a fizzy drink with ice cream in it and often a yummy cherry on top, and the fizzy drink was called pop. But in Wisconsin, pop is called soda and soda with ice cream is an ice cream float. Got it?? :) This is fun! [/QUOTE]
