That dish is annoying. You can't remove the lid and it takes all the room on the table. But the salad was tasty.

You seem to live in Montreal, but you say "soda". Are you American originally? I've never heard a Canadian call it soda.
ReplyDeleteI am in Montreal, but originally come from Quebec city. And we do say "soda" and "soft drink" in Canada. :)
ReplyDeleteWell... you must hang around different Canadians than I do! I've never heard a Canadian say soda, and I've lived in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, British Columbia, Ontario, and now Quebec*. Everyone I've ever known says pop. (Soft drink would be the kind of word that would be on a menu or something, but not something you would usually say in everyday life.)
ReplyDelete*Granted, I do not not know very many born-and-raised Quebec anglos (most of the people I know are either francophones or transplants like me); perhaps they would say soda? Though it's not a French loan word (like saying "stage" instead of internship or practicum), so I'm not sure why that would be the case if so.
Sorry for the tangent -- I do realize this is not a language blog!
