rosebeeWe have a new person at the office who recently moved here (Oregon) from Oklahoma.
We were all talking over lunch and I was attempting to give directions to a local Farmer Market in the area. I told her it was kittycorner from the Saturday Market.
Coworker digested the directions, blinked and said (in a very surprised tone of voice) "wait a minute, you say kittycorner around here? It's cattycorner where I'm from."
Cattycorner?! I've *never* heard that term before in my life.

Until yesterday, I truly thought the rest of the country said "kittycorner".
