We got into this topic at school and I was wondering what you call your mom? Is it specific to country or nothing at all?
So anyways, do you say mom or mum?

Mum with a u. And I do believe it is county-specific.

I say mum, as do most English people.
Most Americans say mom.

If I refer to someones mum, or my mum, I'll say "Aww, will yer ma let ye?" or "I don't know whether my ma will let me", but if I talk to her I call her mum.

When talking about my Mum, I say "Mum", when talking to her, I say "Mam". It's odd...sometimes I call her Shirley, just to wind her up. ;P

I am a little surprised at the large number of British here(nothing wrong with that. I find it cool). I'm half-American, so I usually use mom. However, my mother is Japanese, so she prefers to be called Okaasan. Heheh, yeah, us Brits do dominate quite a bit. But there's several Aussies too I think (there used to be, at least) and I don't think you're teh only America-based person here.
