The amusing world of regional vernacular...

[rosebee]

We 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.

Cattycorner? Sheesh. I'm of half a mind to set up a poll to ask if people say kittycorner or cattycorner, and then ask them where they live.
