Okay, language confession time. I called a shopping cart a "buggy" tonight. But not because it was the first thing to come to my mind. Simply because I knew that that was what the store employee knew it as. Why stand there explaining that by "cart" what I really meant was "buggy?" It's just not worth the trouble.
That's why I started spelling my last name with a "zee" instead of a "zed" most of the time, back when I moved to the US (or for my Canadian friends, "the States") for college. Why launch a twenty-minute conversation with a stranger when you can just get on with your day? Every now and then it's kinda fun though.
