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.

This would be comically illiterate here and in the UK.

"Take the M1 south" every time.

Would you say turn onto the Main St. or take the 3rd Ave north?

[/ QUOTE ]

No, never.

I don't know why not.

Where I live a steamer definitely isn't something you'd want to find on your plate.

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.

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.

I'm working (kinda), sorry. No turbo for me.

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.

Actually, you buy a pound of hamburg, so you can make hamburgers

LOL, no.

I could turn this language analysis thread sexual, too ... but I won't.
