pacinka 0 Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Well, "twice" is used a lot here in Canada, so it should be quite common in the U.S. as well. I personally prefer to use "twice" over "two times". Link to post Share on other sites

GabethePilot 1 Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Well, it seems I'll have to pay more attention to the TV... I have never heard anyone use "twice". Tony Soprano said "How You Doin' ?" two times last week which is rapidly becoming my favourite line on US TV... and may well surpass: "I have Mad Cows... Denny Crane !" :icon_bowdown: Link to post Share on other sites
