solfege confusion (the use of do re mi, as notes)

[Drgonzonm]

I play in the region of the country where lead sheets, have the standard letters when chords are provided. Some others have the do re mi with sharps and flats.
During certain times of the year, we get mixed groups, of players, some like me prefer the standard lettering, and if presented with solfege, prefer the fixed system. I also like using alternate spelling instead of sharps and flats.
Others I know feel comfortable with solfege, for the most part, I do not know if they like the movable solfege. Maybe, I should ask my buddies who sang in choir,
Give some feedback, as I look forward to playing with some blues songs I've written by providing alternative chord presentation.
This thread is probably a troll fest, so I ask, no ugly trolling, puns, and humor are always welcome.

I think here in France it's fixed C. I refuse to acknowledge this system as even remotely OK.

Yeah it depends on where you're from and your training. I learned the "moveable do" as an English speaker in the USA. Then one day i played with some Spanish speakers from Puerto Rico and Mexico, who were trained in "fixed do". There was much confusion on my part. They say "do re mi" as we say "C D E".

I think it's good to know both and be aware of the difference...

OP, what country are you in?

Having gone to a music-centric elementary school and then completing two music degrees I always thought in terms of Do = C. I don't remember ever encountering a situation in school where Do was moveable (though it could be that I'm just not remembering accurately).

I asked one of my favorite choral people, and they said the do re mi is used in warm up so fixed is common. But movable is acceptable.
