I'd forgotten that and had to listen to it again. It's "properly". XD

The dialect/slang thing is fresh in my mind because me, [livejournal.com profile] bitpig, and one of his friends were all talking to [livejournal.com profile] bitpig's Japanese foreign exchange student, telling her about the Southern dialect.

I will confess to having picked up "soda" during my years in Denver and South Dakota, but a good portion of the time it's just "Coke".
