I've been in Tulsa too long

[bugo]

I have started to call all freeways "the highway."

You should get out before it becomes a set in stain and you can't get it out

Could be worse.  I spent a week in southern California, and ever since, I've been occasionally calling freeways "the [route number]" interstate or not.

I have started to call all freeways "the highway."

Along the US 67 Expressway corridor north of Little Rock, people call the road "The Interstate".  I guess that's right on a technicality since 67 IS an "interstate" (small i) highway .

Heh.  I've been around Chicago too long.  They're "expressways" or "tollways" depending upon toll or "free" status.   Need I mention that I use the name instead of the number.

In Dallas, everyone uses the number of the main 2dl freeways, but uses names for everything else. Everyone knows the LBJ, the Bush and the Tollway. An exception is Stemmons for I-35E.

I have started to call all freeways "the highway."

Just as long as you don't start calling every freeway "the BA"...
