Yous guys shouldn't get offended because there are regional ways of speaking.wants2laugh wrote:didn't mean to sound like i was stereotyping, but from my own observation of the people who were using it, they were all from the midwest. Those two words are not usually confused in my region. It is possible for regions to have colloquialisms... so i did not mean to offend. ...
In New Orleans you might hear someone say 'Study this' instead of 'look at this.' IDK if it is still said, I think it is from changing French to English syntax at one point and may have left by now, but you heard it in the '70s. Also ppl would go 'by' your house instead of 'to' your house, even if they intended to go in and visit.
And if you were lost in the Quarter you could 'ax' someone where 'Explanade' Ave was.
BTW, growing up in St. Louis I got into an argument with an adult that it is February not Febuary. Ppl hate smart ass kids. But, I outgrew that.
