i just can't do it. :) or basket either for that matter. a shopping cart is shopping cart.

but i do call it going to the 'market' instead of going to the 'grocery store'.

what's your terminology?

    I call it the super market which makes my boyfriend laugh because he's always called it the grocery store.

    And ALL soda, whether it's Coca-Cola or Pepsi or Mt. Dew or Sprite or Mellow Yellow -- It's ALL called "Coke."

    it's a cart, at the grocery store.
    And soda is soda. And it's only Coke if it's actually COKE.

    It is so funny to hear other people’s terminology. I am convinced Alaska is the only state without an accent (Sarah Palin in no way represents us). We say shopping cart and soda, Coke is referring to a brand and pop just sounds funny. I though buggy was a British thing.
