I just asked my sisters a question I forwarded to them both; both replied at some point in their opening sentences, 'nope'.... I emailed back commenting on the weirdness, as I never use 'nope' and although we now live in different provinces we started out with the same language background, are University educated etc AND we sound similar, read similar books, though have very different lifestyles. I use "nah" though in writing. So I searched google and found this site. I use 'yep' /yup all the time, but never nope. So that analogy didn't work for me. What country started up/uses 'nope' the most? Help please, the very sight/site of 'nope' intrigues me
