OT - Aluminum

Hee hee

Here's some fun, considering how we've been discussing that WORD...... I just happened to glance at my box of "tin foil", and here's what it said

In English - Aluminum (no second 'i') In French - cuz every package is in both English and French in Canada - "papier d'aluminium"

How's that for compromise??? ;>D

Okay - so it's not about aluminum - but - I had a patient's parent call me and tell me she had left linoleum bars at the bedside. I went berserk trying to figure out what she was calling linoleum bars. It was granola bars. That one was very new to me.

I am with Noreen - I guess midwest USA still holds for me as I grew up in Iowa though I haven't lived there for 45 years.

We-ll.... all the broadcasting schools are in the midwest, and both radio and tv broadcasters 'speak' mid-western.... basically it's the easiest to comprehend, I guess! Hugs, Noreen
