Chances are we got it from the British. We all know how crazy those British are when it comes to words.

Seriously, though, I have no idea. I can see driveway coming from the old plantations where the driveway was like half a mile long.

I didn't mean it as a joke!

It is a serious question.

Or

Why is this pronounced "busy" and this "pvssy"

They are almost the same word!

It's not like "nothing" sticks to Teflon. Anyway, the pan is primed first.

orion23: Answers below.

1. A "parkway" is not meant for "parking." It's usually used as a street "near" a park.

2. Most people don't park in the drive way, they drive into the garage on it.
