Those things that stop the car are BRAKES. -- BREAKS is what a glass bottle does when you drop it...

And when you work on the truck, you wear your coverhauls. Oil is pronounced OL or EARL. We have an old boy from Missouri working at the ranch. I am often amused at his spin on the English language.

Jeez, listen to me. I'm 55 so I guess I can qualify as an old fart, but a curmudgeon is what I truly aspire to become !

Between my Father and my self building Swimming pools and moving around a lot and driving a truck over the road for winters in a lot of those 58 years that I am I have seen and heard (not HERD) the English Language bent, folded, mutilated and just generally slaughtered a lot.
Funny thing is when I moved to Tennessee I was called a Yankee, being from Los Angeles (LA around here is Lower Alabama) I was from further south than the people from here and used to take out my friend Rand McNally to prove it.
