It's "colloquial" . I am a native Pennsylvanian, near the "Dutch" and Amish people. Every area of the world has it's own idiocyncracies. Our's are "funner" than some others. PA is a great place to live. You have to leave it for awhile, then come back, to appreciate this. I lived in California for awhile, another friend lived in Colorado. We are both glad to be back. That does not mean we don't want to "winter" in a warmer climate for 3 months.
