So today's hermeneutics class was a bit more relaxed than in previous weeks. This may have been due in part to the pre-class discussion of pop vs. soda vs. coke vs. other.
For the benefit of my British readers, let me explain. Apparently, the term you use to refer to fizzy drinks is region-specific in the US. Here in Philadelphia, people usually talk about soda. Elsewhere (see this map) people call it pop, coke (even if it's not coke at all), or other.
In Mississippi, it's either 'drink' or 'drank'. I wonder what that tells us.
