| after going to college in "da u.p.

"soda," on the other hand, is a beverage, much like a malt, or float, in that ice cream must be present....unless you mean "soda pop" i've had this debate waaaaay too many times...on a side note, has anyone ever heard of a drinking fountain being called a bubbler? ....crazy wisconsinites |

| I'm from the Thumb area now living in the Detroit suburbs. For the first few months of working here, I was thoroughly confused when my coworker kept saying "Fords" as in "My husband works at Fords". I finally asked my boss and he said people in the Detroit area tend to add "s" to the end of things. Example: Meijers, Krogers, Targets, Walmarts, etc... |
