When I was older and got the whole story, what REALLY burned me was them telling my dad that, when ANYONE with a working set of ears could hear that my dad, a full-grown man, had the same accent! What'd they do, tell HIM that HE had a speech impediment too? If they did, he probably would've kicked their asses. Dad didn't take shit like that sitting down. He had that accent till the day he died...our favorite thing to do when we were kids was ask him to say "Bar Harbor." XD
I notice that it's "pop" from Florida until you get to around the middle of New York, then it's "soda" until you get to Maine...where it's "sodapop." And hee. I keep having to backspace when I write "sez," because it INEVITABLY comes out as "sex" the first time. I think our brains are trying to tell us something...*looks around for Logan* XD
To me, all shoes are shoes...unless I can see my toes when I wear them. Then, they are sandals. Couch vs. Sofa...who fucking cares? As long as it's comfortable and I can sleep on it, I don't care WHAT you call it! XD
