At least we can agree it's not a "multi-storey car park"

Paddle Boats on the Tidal Basin by flickr user JaxYeary3791

Brett: You should come visit me sometime.  We could rent paddle boats on the Tidal Basin.

Lori: I would love to visit you!  So many cool museums there.  Any local food we should grab?

Brett: I'm a big Five Guys fan, but they're basically national now.  Warning in case you visit, though: people get confused if you call parking garages "parking ramps."

Lori: I'm confused now.  You call it a parking ramp?

Brett: Am I the only one who uses those terms interchangeably?  Is this going to cause a rift in our relationship?

Lori: I would certainly mourn if it did.  No.  I will learn to accept this quirk of yours.
