are things that bother me!

Wild.

And, I grew up in the south! (Where the irony is that most of the original settlers there were English, even if they were more on the 'Cockney' side of things.)

There has big a big change in how the English speak. (Including the end of the Great Vowel Shift in the 1600s.)
Those Outer Banks people sound more like the English from colonial times than anyone in England today

the folks there were know as salter pathers on the coast in NC nearish to Atlatic beach. I befriended a kid at school and was invited to dinner with his family on the salter path. They spoke a language that was barely understandable as English and their son had to translate for me. Very closed community but I was accepted immediately due to my friendship with Mathew.

What at trip in 1972 or 3.

Until modern times, these locations were rather remote, and therefore they ended up basically developing their own language. As 'progress' moved into their area, plenty of locals found little desire to become so 'worldy'. However, as their kids grew up, those kids left the area and returned with 'outside' influence. The local languages and traditions are fading away these days. There are people who will never go to Rodanthe for Old Christmas, or who will remember the Armada down close to Whalebone Inlet. Things that I remember are disappearing or gone now. That does not mean the end of the Outer Banks, of course. It just means that progress is happening, and that progress sometimes runs over tradition.

Which is not a good thing, as far as I am concerned.

Well worth checking his channel out. Pete Santenello.

For international treks, I like Yes Theory the best. Drew Binsky is ok too, but sometimes a bit exploitive of the subjects he interviews (ie poverty porn and the like sometimes). He does get to some amazing places though.

Where someone actually typed "supposably" instead of "supposedly."

Pretty sure I've seen it more than once.

to say it like that even though they knew it was incorrect.

But I have heard someone say "nip it in the butt" instead of "nip it in the bud"

From an episode of “Friends” from a line Joey said

brother was murdered.

Makes my skin crawl. Kind of funny since it’s a combination of flustered and frustrated which are words which kind of have similar meanings.

Both parties are not the same.

I have an exploration addiction. When I cannot travel the world, I try to explore the US. So, I try to drive to every US county and see what the journey has in store. My wife and son do NOT have any interest in this whatsoever, so I have to wait until they go to Japan for six weeks each summer (she is from Japan). Then every weekend I hop in the car and explore from Chicago. I took a few days off from work last year for a 5 day weekend and explored the counties of Eastern Kentucky and southern West Virginia. What a different world. The accents were as thick as hers. The windy roads over the rolling hills were beautiful. Some particularly so. I often felt like an out of state license plate in some of these parts was extremely rare…like when I turned down a county road into one of the hollers. The road was two way, but only one lane wide and very windy. I think this was on a route 1780 just off of US421 in Leslie county, Kentucky. I often get to chat with interesting people along the way…my dog is my companion on these rides! She hangs with me at the various restaurants along the way where conversations often ensue.

The accents. A three letter word may have three sylables.

Is it near Mt. Hope, WV?

I can't think of the name of the river there, tho.

I was there about a dozen years ago for a Scout event.

I don't do it as much as I used to. I wish I had taken more pictures but most of my weekend trips were before mobile phones had cameras and my navigation, dependent on topo maps and the sun.

OT: Your dog is beautiful. Is she a staffy? What’s her name?

That’s Momo which is Japanese for peach…we love rubbing her cute pink belly! American Staffordshire terrier.

My wife and son didn’t go to Japan this summer actually so no road trips this time around. Her niece is visiting and we will take her to Mexico to see Chichen Itza and Tulum and to just generally have a relaxed vacation.

Most likely some minor boys as well.

They were children, they were girls, and they were boys.

They were all sex trafficked, they were all victims, and they were all raped.

To not call it out for what it is is a true disservice to those victims.

In my OP.

As I read some of the comments it seemed like a good forum to voice my displeasure with those, especially those in the media, incorrectly calling the children 'young women'. This is not a mistake, it is a serious attempt to gloss over what actually occurred, and who was victimized. I believe it is a shameful attempt to normalize it as much as possible.

This one drives me crazy..
It’s moot point, not mute point!

Instead of: He could HAVE done it.

He could'a done it.

People who use the word "ironic" when they mean "coincidental". It happens ALL the time!

what you're talking about!

Lay vs. lie.

I can't stand it when people mess those up and it's rampant.

Also "chomp" at the bit, instead of "champ".

That grinds on my nerves whenever I hear it.

ax for ask has legitimate linguistic history, even the great bard used it. That said, it has its regional homes, and if we didn't grow up hearing it, it does grate on the nerves. Kind of like when I moved to a part of the country where grits were on every menu and I got chastised for speaking it with only one syllable instead of the vernacular greeyuts. Prolly doesn't matter either, yeah?

.

title character asked a victness in court, "What's a grit?"

Not greeyuts, mind you.

And. I'm sorry. I get embarrassed for the people who use 'ax' isntead of 'ask.' It's just not proper English.

It's THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS!

...instead of "Toe the line".
"Bury the lead" instead of "Bury the lede".
