Please feel free to argue with anyone on this thread.
No foul language or personal jibes please.

You can argue with anyone about anything or just pick an argument for no reason and vent some stress Smile
You may just feel like arguing with me about why I put this thread up. Go ahead, Make my day!!!

Yes, I'm going to say it here in front of hundreds, maybe thousands of people..



Are you ready? Here it goes:
It's pop, not 'soda'. *big grin*

But can they be one in the same? The same exact thing with two different terms used for it??? *Question mark* *Question mark*

Hmmmmm..

My personal Rant? Zero's are not O's and O's are not Zero's. 101 is pronounced "one zero one" not "one O one". There, I finaly got it off of my chest!

It's funny how everyone who is in favor of abortion has already been born. Your thoughts? I'm against it.

Arrgh! I so want to agree with irossall but I cant as this an argument thread.
'O' or Oh is a letter where as Zero is a number. but military use oh' for time designation as zero is used for specific targeting and navigation.
AJOJRF - I can say "5 score and one" Smile

Mack - we call it 'soft drinks' in UK, so children don't end up buying alcahol by mistake.

Rob Eubank. you are pushing your luck on this thread with that subject Smile . Cd's are better of course as when they have served the purpose they can be transformed into a myriad of ornaments unlike a yukkie LP.

David, . A womb is not for life. Or should that read, A womb is for life???

Actually, where I come from, it's all called "Coke." When you ask for a "coke", you get asked, "What kind of coke?"

The only stupid question is the one not asked.

But analog almost always sounds better then digital.
Every hit Boston ever produced was from analog and could not be produced digitally. Sholtz Research and Development (SRD) is based on the classic Boston effects that Tom Sholtz pioneered. Until you've unplugged a live mike from a shorted reverb to get that wonderful space explosion, you haven't experienced musical creativity at its finest. (You also probably haven't ruined your analog reverb unit Smile)

There, I won the first argument. Smile You feel better? (Personally, I like the digitally mastered jazz since the digital masters capture the dynamic range of acoustic and eletronic instruments.) Both mediums have inherent strengths and weaknesses.

I found that out when I took a trip to California last year.
Partizan, thanks for the tidbit.

Usually in the Burgh' area I hear pop, although I have friends who rebelliously say soda to start an argument!

I guess the point is every region can have its way of doing/saying things.

P.S. Iven, you just reminded me of how I think that when I hear it on commercials and in normal conversation. I must agree!

I agree with Iven and AJOJRF. I hate when people say, "O" instead of zero, and when people add, "And" when they are saying a number. The only reason to say, "And" would be if you you are adding a sum or finding the product of an equation (i.e. "Multiply 200 and 64). I've been trying to explain that to my dad since I was 5. Smile

David Copperfield's "Escape from Alkatraz" was total crap! It was a lame, overly-choreographed, one-act-play illusion foisted on the public as a "challenge escape!"
It was a total insult to escape artists everywhere, and everyone involved should be ashamed!
Don't even get me started on Princess Tenko!!!
