[Poll #2029661]

From sitcoms etc it seems that in America, Girl Scouts are in troops run by parents. So you'd meet at one another's houses, and it would be a troop of your friends, is that right? Is it a different parent each week? If so, how do you do badges etc? What happens if you want to be a Girl Scout and none of your friends do? How are the troops regulated/registered- do they have names and things? Is this also how Boy Scouts are run?

I always write either huzzah or hooray, but I usually say hooray.

I'm afraid I cannot answer the second part of your poll because I don't like cheese and onion OR salt and vinegar crisps :P

[spiralsheep.livejournal.com]

I also say "Hooray!" But "huzzah" amuses me more in text form so I picked that. HUZZAH!

"Is a twiglet a crisp" - a question for the ages. I thought not, but then chipsticks are, so it's not the shape. Perhaps the hardness and density? I think they are too firm (ooer missus) to be a crisp.

Surely crisps are always potato-based? Unless specifically labelled as 'vegetable crisps' or whatever.

[spiralsheep.livejournal.com]

But that would mean Wotsits aren't crisps because they're neither crispy nor made of potato, and then my second choice of Frazzles-style fake bacon rasher thingys also begins to look suspect. UR QUESTIONS: SO HARD.

Ah,now I remember hooray is a much better spelling than hurray!

[alitheapipkin.livejournal.com]

I never remember you can spell it with a 'u' until I see it written that way! And 'hurrah' just makes me think of posh people in the 1920s...

[felinitykat]

I always spell it hooray (hurray looks like 'hurry' to me) and say that or hurrah.

SALT AND VINEGAR 4EVA

Ugh, WRONG.

[steepholm.livejournal.com]

I think they're different words. 'Hooray' has the emphasis more emphatically on the first syllable. I'd never write 'Hurray Henry', for example, only 'Hooray Henry'.

[yiskah.livejournal.com]

Yes, that was going to be my comment! My real preference is "hooray", but I would choose "hurrah" over "hurray".

[girlofprey.livejournal.com]

I would like to say that my choice of hurray, hurrah or huzzah really depends on the situation.

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

When do you give a hurrah?

[girlofprey.livejournal.com]

When a thing is good but I'm feeling restrained and sort of satisfied about it, usually when a situation has already resolved well.
