The post on soft drink terms has elicited a great deal of response (on my other blog as well). Many people want a little more granularity; well, it was brought to my attention that Google Maps based survey is up. You can vote and increase the N.

Sadly, I always refer to it as a soft drink (as did my parents before me)-- never as soda, pop, or coke. So my answer is not a choice in the survey.
