okay, this is in re: CutiePie's comment here and is not relevant to grammar.

You call it Interact.
But... in Texas no-one would know what you were talking about. When you need cash, you go to the pulse machine, or you go pulse, as in...
"We'll meet y'all at the club at ten-thirty, Lisa needs to run by 7-11 and pulse."

This is a totally normal phrase to hear in Texas.

But... when I was in San Francisco and, not thinking, asked if we could stop by a pulse machine, my friends thought I was asking about the blood-pressure-checker in the back of the Eckerd's (or Walgreen's) that you play with while waiting for your prescription!!!

So is it Interact in the rest of the world?
