You say Yes, I say no, You say Why .......

I say I don't know.

You say salon and I say Saloon. In the sailing world, which one is correct?

[rockDAWG]

No one knows the answer? It can't be that hard.

Ok, are there any citizens by birth here? Don't tell me, all of you are imported and went through Ellis Island

I say livingroom, because I don't know whether it's a salon or a saloon either. I always thought a saloon had double swinging doors and served drinks and a salon was a place women went to catch up on gossip and get their "hair did."

Like Gybe and Jibe or Pennant and Pendant...chances are that both are in fairly common usage...

Caribbean; some say "carry be in" others say carib E yen

I think saloon is correct because it is a place to relax and enjoy some wine with companions. I also checked Beneteau site, they use saloon instead of salon. Since they are French, they will more critical about the proper translation than the natives.

I will use saloon from now on until someone gives me a better (correct) answer with the proper references.
