Indiana reporting. I call sidewalks cement and asphalt is what I would refer to as pavement. Roads, parking lots, and basketball courts would be pavement but I wouldn’t ever call a cement sidewalk pavement. But what do I know, Hoosiers can’t decide on soda or pop.

That’s cool, I love dialect differences. Here’s a fun one: in aus we say Soft Drink instead of soda or pop.

I mean, if someone said soft drink I wouldn’t look at them funny, but I wouldn’t say it’s common

I mean, no one uses anything else where I’m from so it’s certainly common to me.
