    I love looking at accent maps of the US, it’s interesting to see how batshit bad at the language some of my countrymen are

    Just find me the place where ‘u’ is still relevant, like they’re using pre-T9 1996 phones and are too lazy to press [9][9][9][6][6][6][8][8] to spell a real world, so I can give them all phones that won’t continue wrecking their wrists from the weight.

    Nevermind. They’re a lost cause. Nuke it from orbit.

    This is lovely. I really like the quirks of language.

    Makes me think of the jibberish that my dialect makes when simply pointing out a direction.

    Me moving to the South:

    “Red bugs.”

    “Chiggers?”

    “Yes. Red bugs.”

    “Are we talking about the same thing?!”
