<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 324955, member: 4552&quot;]The problem here is this is America. Not England, not Russia, not Africa nor the Artic. This is America and we do not speak English, we speak American. Actually we speak United Statian to be more accurate. Our language is made up of numerous terms, pharases and words from other languages and we occationally make up our own words. Even if we spell a word wrong and enough peope follow it is now the accepted spelling. And that is because this is AMERICA and we can say and do as we want. In our monitary system we also have 2bits, saw buck, fiver, ten spot, c-note, etc. I don&#039;t think any of these are in the Numismatic Dictionary yet almost everyone knows and uses them. I&#039;ve had, collected, saved PENNIES for well over 60 years. Everyone I know says PENNIES. If anything, a cent will eventually be a PENNY regardless of the MINORITY that want to say CENTS. I <b>AIN&#039;T</b> going to change my term for the PENNY now.</p><p>Here is something to think about: Songs that we have listened to for many years.</p><p>PENNIES from HEAVEN - Bing Crosby</p><p>PENNY LOVER - Lionel Richie</p><p>PENNY FOR A THOUGHT- Saul Williams</p><p>PENNY ON THE FLOOR - The Clarks</p><p>PENNY LANE -&nbsp; The Beatles ( of course they are English )</p><p>PENNY SERENADE - ???????</p><p>And in that famous song by the Beach Boys Giddy Up 409 they say &quot;Well I save my PENNIES and I saved my dimes.........&quot; </p><p>So for your stuck on CENTS people, try replacing PENNIES in those songs with CENTS.&nbsp; </p><p>As I said, this is AMERICA.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
