> One thing I noticed from looking at the data for the accent quiz, is that North Carolinians are far more likely to NOT say soda/pop/coke in actual conversation.
My family has been in NC for generations and my father's side of the family refers to any soft drink as a co-cola. Every soft drink is a co-cola.
Also, my grandfather always used to purposefully mispronounce Ocracoke as O-row-key-coke. Everytime I see Ocracoke I instinctively pronounce it in my grandfather's manner.
