You only wish, ankwatcher. Accounting is a state of mind, not an existence we are doomed to. Anyway, in Minnesota, people say, 'tag' as 'taig.'
It is indeed odd.

Some fools call soda "pop", and even worse, some misguided southerners refer to any carbonated beverage as coke!

I think the whole Hellman's/Best Foods thing is dependent on which side of the Mississippi you live on. I grew up with Hellman's growing up in DC, but here in Oregon it's Best Foods. I prefer the Hellman's brand name myself, as we on the east coast obviously know how to label our brands better.

Bah, their commercial jingle works one heck of a lot better with Best Foods: "Bring out the Best Foods and bring out the best" is far superior to "Bring out the Hellman's and bring out the best."
Another mystery is how someone, such as my building's weekend security guard today, can say, "New York City has more people, per capita, than any other city in the US" and not have their head instantly implode.

I suppose it depends on what your used to. I thought that "Because food love Hellmans, so bring out the Hellmans bring out the best" sounds better. Besides at this level of micro management using best twice in the jingle sounds poor!

and the geese thing was somewhat covered by Zig and Zag in their poem "if an orange is orange" which i would recite to you if i could:
1. remember it.
or
2. remember where i put it.
someone else will probably do the job for me though.
