Among Friends

[nevergivesup]

While we’re on the subject, I heard the host of a show on HGTV ask the children in the house he was planning to renovate, “Where are you guyses bedrooms at?” Talk about nails on a chalkboard. I was actually reduced to yelling at the tv, “Where are your bedrooms?”  Why is this so hard?

I grew up in SoCal, depending on what suburb you're from pronounciations of words vary, example:  Do you want manaise on your sangwitch?  I'll ax you again.  It's just a local lingo but everyone understands each other.

I found your post very interesting.

The school in which I spent most of my career educated students from a somewhat rural area as well as some that lived on the edge of the city.  I haven't heard someone using "r" at the end of a word.

We did have a library assistant who used the term "of a night" which I understood to mean "the other night" or every night".  I don't know where she was reared, but I am in western NC in the Blue Ridge Mountains of the  Appalachian Mountain chain.
