      I (in the UK) say “prize” if it’s something you’re winning, and “prise” if you’re trying to open something with a crowbar.

    Don’t you dare say waddling is from across the pond. Here in america, more than 60% of our population waddles about!

  I will make a conscious effort now that I know about this issue and also I’m just commenting because this post has that glorious Bottle of Water response and I want it in my comment history to find easier later.
