Here, in Hillbilly Heaven, you are instantly identified as an outlander if you say “creek”.

In 48 years of life, I’ve never heard any native *not* say crick.

[and we get’em in our necks, too]....:)

Up here in the north I’d say people say crik about 50% of the time. Creek the rest. A crik is smaller than a creek is smaller than a stream is smaller than a river.

My wife, born and raised in deep Southwest Virginia, says “creek,” as do her kinfolk. Occasionally one does hear “crick” but not as much as “creek” hereabouts.

"In 48 years of life,..."

Whatta you know, we're the same age...
...but I look so much younger than you though.
