[abbynormal0ne]

@russianmerc Lol, I only say "soda" instead of "pop" because I like to be different. :D

[Eopyk]

Interesting to hear you speak :) I know so much that the Minnesotan dialects have been influenced by Scandinavian languages and by German a whole lot :)

All love from me Jasmine

[abbynormal0ne]

@Eopyk Yes, there's a *lot* of Scandinavian decedents up where I'm from, and you can definitely hear it :D

[dospook]

Had to replay your vid over 'both'. Because i was busted by someone from Houston saying Bolth... I think you said bolth also :) maybe not. Maybe you said bOth

[abbynormal0ne]

@dospook No way did I have an "l" in my both. *shudder*

[oldclown]

What do you call it when the sun is shining while it is raining?

"The devil is beating his wife."

Yes, I grew up in the deep south.

[CheckM8King2]

@russianmercIn Michigan soda is something you make with ice cream and soda water. POP is Pepsi, Coke etc

[TheSH1N1GAM1]

@oldclown So the devil just goes along with the neighborhood trend?

[TwilightsSerenity]

ohohoho your accents so different from mine xD

[Brenpaulson]

@russianmerc im from kato too. i dont think i have an accent but i posted one of these videos ha

[Peaches70380]

I'm from the DEEP south...we say,

"You want a Coke?"

"Sure"

"What kind you want?"

"Sprite"

Yes, we're strange but I've never known anything different. lol

[TayoEXE]

I live in Nevada, and we always called it Soda, sometimes called Pop if you want to sound older. :P Also, no one seems to understand the question "What do you say to address a group of people?
". It's asking you pretty much which pronoun you use. Like how in Mexico, they just use Ustedes while they use Vosotros in Spain. In English, it is technically just "you", but it used as "you guys", "y'all", "yous", etc. Here, I say "you guys", even if there are girls. :P

[greiteneis]

Finally, someone finally said Pill bug!!!!!!!!
