Where i grew up we called it pop not soda
Where I grew up, we called Pop Soda.
"Soda," I would say, "can I have twenty bucks and borrow the car, please?" :)

Ketchup and tomato sauce are two different things. If you called ketchup "tomato sauce," then what did you call real tomato sauce?

If you are from the Northeast:
You don't stay WITH your parents, you stay BY your parents.
You don't stand IN line, you stand ON line.
You don't visit "Floor"ida and drink orange juice, you visit "Flahrida" and drink "ahringe" juice.
If you are from the deep South:
You don't get ready to have supper, you're fixin' to have supper.
You might-could go to the park in an hour...

I always found this Chicago-ism to be cute: 'do you want to go with?' as opposed to:' do you want to go with me/us?' :)

Why in England do they say "...was taken to hospital" as opposed to the way WE say it "...taken to THE hospital"?
Or, on the other hand, why do WE say it the way WE do???

"If you are from the Northeast:
You don't stay WITH your parents, you stay BY your parents.
You don't stand IN line, you stand ON line."Those are New York/Twisted Yiddish things, not Northeast things.
"You don't visit "Floor"ida and drink orange juice, you visit "Flahrida" and drink "ahringe" juice."
That's New York/New Jersey.
A water fountain is a bubblah (bubbler) in New England.

Why in England do they say "...was taken to hospital" as opposed to the way WE say it "...taken to THE hospital"?
In England, you go to school, you go to prison, you go to hospital.
In the U.S. you go to school, you go to prison, you go to THE hospital.
Or, on the other hand, why do WE say it the way WE do???
That's an excellent question.
