I just say "Pickup" or "Extended Cab" or "Crew Cab". The youngsters who have to be gansta say "Single Cab" or "Double Cab". I look at them like they're wearing diapers and just shat theyself, haha. |
I always say "please" and "thank you" .... think I'll add "well bless your heart" when I get the "no problem, no worries, my pleasure"....
Instead of mentioning the horse they rode in on :D |

Oh and I live in a weird part of the world where we add a "S" to the end of store names. We have "Chief Supermarket". Everyone I know calls it "Chiefs". Menards and Lowes understood this and just took care of the problem for us!

A few colleagues get so tweaked at the use of non-words that I throw them out casually just to see him turn red. I wouldn't do it in a professional context but around the coffee pot? It's on... |

I gave up on speaking correctly. I just tell people "I'm from Ohio". |

At Starbucks or some restaurant these days... "Hi, welcome in!" What happened to welcome? Or come in?

When you think about it, all words are "made up". They get used, become part of the vernacular and are generally accepted. I think Stephanie pointed out earlier that conversate is in Webster.

Jerry built means it's built badly. There was a guy that lived on the Thames a couple hundred years ago that built stuff so badly this expression was created. So, Jerry rigged morphed from both but still means built poorly but it's ok to use the term since it's been used for over 100 years. And 100 years is as old as 23 skidoo which means get the eff outta here. |
Ain't Converse a brand of sneekers?

Creek is pronounced "crick."

"pwned" is one that I saw a young person try to use in Scrabble. She'd heard others use it when gaming, but never seen it spelled and tried to put it down as "poned" That one made me giggle a bit. |
My speeling and gramarizing has prolly been pelicanated ....
"pwnd" makes my skin crawl tho :D |

Several times while working as a heritage interpreter, I had visitors to the facility tell me they didn't think I was from Nova Scotia because they could understand what I was saying. They guessed wrong. My job was communication.
Regional dialects in the province range from Acadian french to remnants of German, Scottish and southern England. Good times! Best Les |
