How about a nice little time waster??  Ha!

There are lots of famous debates about what people call different things like soda versus pop and pee-can versus peh-con.  One of those debates really just started heating up this week on Twitter.  Of course all the good debates are on twitter!

What do you call the shoes you wear when you exercise?
According to a study by Harvard, 45.5% of people call them “sneakers,” mostly in the northeast . . . 41.3% call them “tennis shoes” . . . and the rest use other terms like “gym shoes” or just plain “shoes.”

This leads me to one question…people at Harvard are actually studying something like this??  Oh yea, now we can all sleep better knowing this has been studied!  I would be upset knowing I paid an enormous amount of money to send my kid to the best university and they are studying THIS???

Apparently, though, LOTS of people had no idea there was any other term than the one they used . . . so the reactions on social media are trending toward disbelief.
