I tend to overstate my case occasionally.

I would like to formally concede to Notapen (Styles) that many people, perhaps even a majority, who use the word 'pop' to describe soda are, in fact, good people, or, at the least, not bad people and in no way constitute a blight on the earth.

In other news my apartment is freezing (as when the outside temperature rises above 50 degrees F, our heat shuts off. Yay.) It was in fact so cold today that I killed this fat man I'd been using as a draft animal and crawled inside of him to stay warm. It smelled terrible but was less offensive to my noise than the word 'pop' is to my ears when used in reference to soda.
