I was listening to Air1 the other day and found this news story funny! Luanne von Schneidemesser, PhD in German linguistics and philology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and senior editor of the Dictionary of American Regional English researched and then wrote an article on the coke vs. soda debate. He then created a map to demonstrate what areas of the United States say coke, who says soda, and who uses pop! So find your state and see if you agree. Apparently I'm from a Soda state!
