Patilla sólo se usa en partes de Sudamérica. ¿No?
En Centroamérica sólo dicen sandía.


Había una chimpancé, llamada Washoe, a la cual le enseñaron el ASL (American Sign Language, un lenguaje de señas usado en EEUU). La seña para sandía consiste en dos señas - la de water and la de melon. La chimpancé las cambió a drink + fruit.
Para gustos, los colores.

A mi me encantan watermelons.
Aquí en Nueva York la mayoría de los hispanos son caribeños y ellos usan
patilla pero entienden sandía.

Yep, idiom #3152 is a repeat of #129. This was most likely caused by a lack of communication with one of your alternate personalities.

When David reads this, he'll know what to do.

Quedo sorprendido. Aquí patilla domina sobre sandía pero ahora que la población mexicana está aumentando se ve sandía tambien.
