- Hey, _I_ use "Petie" too. Maybe it is geographic! But more
- importantly, it has to be thrashed out in this newsgroup whether it is
- more appropriate to use Petie Sweetie or Petie Honey. It seems that both
- have their advantages:
-
- Sweetie
- 1. It rhymes
- 2. I was one of the first to use it (hey, I didn't take SATs--this is
- all I get to brag about)
-
- Honey
- 1. It lends itself to the appropriate abbreviation PHoney
- 2. Petie considers it sexual harassment.
-
- Hmmm, pretty even, it seems to me. Any suggestions?
