[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Most people around my area just say "81" (for Interstate 81) or "70" (for I-70) for the two interstates. "Take 81 South to 70 East to ..." [/ QUOTE ] This is very standard. [/ QUOTE ] This would be comically illiterate here and in the UK. "Take the M1 south" every time. [/ QUOTE ] Would you say turn onto the Main St. or take the 3rd Ave north? [/ QUOTE ] No, never. I don't know why not. |

[ QUOTE ] rofl Where I live a steamer definitely isn't something you'd want to find on your plate. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah I've heard that one, too. A "steamer" (or "sloppy joe") is basically hamburger that's been chopped up, put in a slow cooker, mixed with lots of ketchup, mustard and whatever else you want to add (onions, peppers, etc.), then spooned onto rolls for sandwiches. [/ QUOTE ] There's another one. "Hamburger" for us is never minced beef, only ever the patty you form from it. I'd never buy a kilo of hamburger, only ever a kilo of hamburgers. |

And yes, I'll frequently say "We need a pound of hamburger when we go grocery shopping today" ... even though it's really a pound of ground beef.
