electrical outlet
Everybody in Calgary says "plug-ins". That never sounded right to me; I was
sure that we had called them simply "plugs" where I came from, but then started to wonder if it was just my family that had it wrong, and really the whole world was calling them
plug-ins.
Then I moved back to Qwee-bec. And discovered everybody is still calling them PLUGS down here.
Of France!!!! (that's a
Dooce reference in case you don't know.)
