I am a Cardinal fan...............
I am a Cardinals fan, also.
It's not just TN/NC/GA AJ. It's the public school system & a lowering of standards across society. Ever see e-mails & texts fm mgmt & executives with lousy grammar, spelling & punctuation? After questioning several of them fm dif sources & locations & being told the same thing I stopped. "You know what it meant." Most often with a condescending or threatening tone.I ain't perfect. Sometimes it's flustrating two. I could care less & FYI my birfday is on Valentimes day.
It means they are from Sand Springs.......
Nuclear is New Clear, not New Cu Lar, but guess what, our education system says it is ok to pronounce it that way.
That's standard English in the corner of TN/NC/GA I lived in. Not typos. People say it out loud, not just in print. So I say it has a regional context.-AJ
"alright" - "all right"
"Highly inflammable""Flammable" suggests will burst into flames at the drop of a hat..Inflammable suggests that substance will not support combustion, so..Highly inflammable means very little chance of combustion.That's a little concerning when I see it on an avgas bowser..!
I've notice the sell-sale confusion. In the south, the accent can make these two words sound very similar, so it wouldn't be hard to get them mixed up.My southern mother-in-law insists that "pen" and "pin" should be pronounced exactly the same.
Which two?
Yeah.....happy it does not me make!
The two your MIL thinks should be pronounced the same . Yeah , I know short E short I , pehn , pin , but I've never actually heard anyone but a Brit say "pehn" .
Or "new-clar".Our 39th President says "New-Cue-Lur", so I guess there is some dissent on this one.
