Poll: Sofa, couch or settee?

MODS, ARM THE POLLS!

Sofa.

...although I was brought up on 'settee'.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U_and_non-U_English "U and non-U English usage, with U standing for upper class, and non-U representing the aspiring middle classes, were part of the terminology of popular discourse of social dialects (sociolects) in 1950s Britain and New England."

U English: Sofa, Non-U English: Settee or couch

 

[Hatter The Mad]

Setee.

Too common? Dear God...

From the same angle as people who don't like to use the word 'toilet' and instead 'loo'.
