I'd say "Holy shit, there's a plane on a treadmill!"

sofa (US) with couch as second choice. Settee (UK)

um what was the second question? oh pop (US) fizzy drink (UK)

toward/towards depends on context, it's grammatical thing not a dialect thing.

HungLikeJesus · 06-04-2010, 10:26 PM

Actually, I say towards, but the s is silent.

monster · 06-04-2010, 10:30 PM

I say "Cellar" at the moment of orgasm ...but most of the letters are silent and some have an extended pronunciation.

duvet.

but merkins call them comforters and they're a bit different

jinx · 06-07-2010, 09:59 PM

Duvet. Comforters are different.

I prefer quilts.

skysidhe · 06-07-2010, 10:15 PM

I grandmother used to say, Davenport. I say sofa or couch. I would call something a settee if it was a little entry way thing or some other small type sofa. The kind you look at but never want to sit on unless you are swooning. :P

Interesting that I bought a duvet cover to put on my comforter. I bought a quilt for the patchwork design.

I go toward unless someone comes towards this way.

I drink soda pop.
