@dave @Michigander Yes, good examples...I was born and raised in MI, but have lived in CA for 40+ years now, but I still remember well using pop (instead of soda) and party store (instead of convenience store) and getting looks like "Huh?". Also the pronunciation of states like "Oragun" (not "Oragahn") and "Nevaduh"(not "Navahda"). Needless to say, I quickly adapted so I would fit in!
