USA - United Staates America
 | "Paul says Mum and my close friend, who´s American, Chrissie says mum. So that kind of confuses me. In fact I know a few Americans who say Mum. "
Actually, folks in the US have different words for the same things also, and different "accents" or "dialects" for the same words. Therefore, I think I´ve heard PS say "mom" (or "mum," as you believe you heard), though I heard it as "mom" with a New York accent). Whatever! I think I´ll lay low for awhile now.
(And, by the way, I wasn´t trying to "flesh you out," just wave a little hello across the site. ;) ) |

 | Generaly we say mam, the bane of womens lives is "the Irish Mammy" until they become mammys themselves" . the middle class and non catholics say "Mum". However Mom is creeping in with the small kids thanks to the TV and films |
