Friend just read some of these and raised an interesting thought: She said she could tell where the posts were from (or should say where the poster grew up) by the words they used. I said of course, crayfish, corn, etc. in certain areas. She said yes but also pointed out the use of the tern "cement floor" (or walk, drive etc.) and laughed. She said that was impossible. Cement is an ingredient in concrete and its like saying "I will bake you a nice loaf of flour." She thinks that is a Midwest saying but I have heard that term used incorrectly in several states. Do you hear it in your area?
