Very fun project, Help needed :)

[Raganook]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH: EVERYONE! 19 so far, I appreciate this SO much

So, for school, we are looking at the different ways people pronounce things from across the nation. There are only 4 questions, and I need to find as many people as I can from as many states as possible. So! If you live in the U.S., I could really use your help!

Here are the questions:

1) How do you pronounce "caramel". Spell it phonetically for me ("Care-Uh-Mell", "Car-Uh-Mell", "Car-Mell", etc.)

2) How do you refer to a group of friends all at once?

3) Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper and Sprite are all ______?

4) The general name for places where you shop for food is ____?

Thats it!

The results are collected by the entire class, and plotted on a map. I can post the results if anyone is curious.

If you decide to help me out, please post the following information as well:

1) Name (it can be a fake one)
2) Age
3) Occupation
4) State you live in

Thanks in advance anyone kind enough to take the few minutes out of their day to help me

Tom, fiber analyst, New York

1. Car-mull
2. guys
3. sodas
4. grocery store (although in usual conversation, that is shortened to just "store.")

A sentence that wouldn't be unusual here would be: "Hey guys, I'm going to the store to get some soda. Did you know they use car-mull coloring in cola?"

3) Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper and Sprite are all ______?
spermatocides

Thanks for the quick responses everyone! The more the better

Linkiboy...is this really true? I need to put it on if it is, but it's definitely important that you give me a real answer. If you went to a restaurant in your area of Florida, you would say "what kind of spermatocides do you have?"

I REALLY wish it did

. But the teacher has specified USA, not North America.
