Charles, that's interesting. I worked in shops in the Southeast, specifically Atlanta, for almost 30 years and there is was always kicks. It's when I moved to the Midwest in 2005 that I got into a shop where they said see-eye-see-ess, and the first time I used the term kicks they didn't know what I was talking about.

It seemed to me to be a geographical thing in the US. When I lived on the east coast I always heard see-eye-see-ess and dee-oh-ess. When I moved to the west coast is when I started hearing kicks and "doss." With the greater geographical mobility now and more dispersed corporations that difference may have disappeared. It's interesting. Everyone seems to say rack-eff and vee-tam and vee-sam but no one says zoss.

I don't know where he got that, he lived in California. Wherever I've worked it was see-eye-see-ess, including trips to customers around the U.S., but not outside. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ***************************************************************************** If you wish to communicate securely with Commerce Bank and its affiliates, you must log into your account under Online Services at http://www.commercebank.com or use the Commerce Bank Secure Email Message Center at https://securemail.commercebank.com NOTICE: This electronic mail message and any attached files are confidential.
