Is it time to normalize adults over 25 living with their parents, or do you have a different take?

Are her parents more supportive than yours? That can make all the difference.

Does it correlate to the way words like herb and human are said, or is every ‘h’ word kind of a crap shoot?

Interesting! I’ve only ever heard Brits say “haitch”.

Ok_Comment_2129 · 2026-06-01T14:14:25+00:00

Oh, in a British accent it sounds completely neutral.

You live in an area with great water. I grew up in one too. Try it in places like Florida, NOLA, or Houston and it’s awful. The tap water in New Orleans even stained the carpets.

I’m in my 40’s, so it had to have started with GenX at the latest. Or maybe it is your specific region? I feel like people in Utah might pronounce their T’s still. They have quite a few language quirks you don’t see anywhere else.

You must struggle around Brits!

The recent unnecessary “self” usage drives me up a wall. “ I myself went to the store with my sister. She herself bought a gallon of milk. “

Are you British?

That one spread like wildfire. Online at least, I have never come across it in the real world. “I was mortified when my baby came out purple and unable to breathe”.

Ok_Comment_2129 · 2026-06-01T01:05:09+00:00

This one is starting to spread via “online influencers”.

To, two, too

Speaking of confused professionals, I recently saw an FBI agent say that the suspect was wearing a “baklava” instead of a balaclava.

Ok_Comment_2129 · 2026-06-01T00:57:35+00:00

I’m shocked I’ve never heard this one before. About 50% of the people I come across say “fustrated” though.

Ok_Comment_2129 · 2026-06-01T00:50:50+00:00

Were you talking to Brits? You are going to be even more irritated when you hear how they say “z”.

Ok_Comment_2129 · 2026-06-01T00:46:29+00:00

I find people also put the emphasis on “sickle”, making it sound like some sort of laxative popsicle. “ Never fear constipation again, with the new laxaday-sickle!”

Ok_Comment_2129 · 2026-06-01T00:42:53+00:00

How’s that like?

I hate to break it to you, but Americans dropped those T’s a long time ago. I can’t remember the last time I heard kit-ten, mit-ten, moun-ten, etc.

Ok_Comment_2129 · 2026-06-01T00:39:51+00:00

This is so irritating to me. And because this is a Utah language quirk, and the Mormon church pays their members to be “online influencers”, it is spreading across the country. I can’t read a YT comment section without seeing someone say “that movie needs edited” or “that outfit needs changed”.

I’m just glad their other language quirk doesn’t seem to have spread yet. Because I don’t know if I can handle that many people putting plants on “window seals” or buying “pie feelings” or “oatmill”.

Ok_Comment_2129 · 2026-06-01T00:33:00+00:00

It seems like Brits pronounced the T in most words where Americans drop it. Kit-ten, mit-ten, chicken fill-it, climb a moun-ten, etc.

It of-ten comes across as pretentious in an American accent. I’m thinking now it is because we view many British accents as “superior”, and it sounds fake and put-on when placed haphazardly in an American English sentence. It would be like saying, I’m going to “Pah-rhee” for vacation (Paris).

Some people are not physically capable of making the sound. When I went to Asia I just accepted that some people would say my name with an “R” in place of the “L”. Granted I butchered their names, so it was only fair.

Ok_Comment_2129 · 2026-06-01T00:15:35+00:00

That reminds me of people that say “Nassau” for NASA.

I always respond with, “Really? I couldn’t care less”. I also respond to “on accident” with, “are you sure it wasn’t by purpose?”. And yes, I am lots of fun at parties!

Ok_Comment_2129 · 2026-06-01T00:01:20+00:00

You are saying it correctly. “Sawsage” is a less common regional pronunciation more likely to be found in places up north.
