Growing up in Maryland I was raised to say AppaLAYshun, but a friend of mine in college who grew up in Tennessee convinced me it was AppaLATCHen and I've never been able to go back.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So, is today over yet? How about now?
Somewhere, in an alternate reality where we are all good people. But in this reality, we're bad people and are being punished.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Not over yet. I've done quite a bit of work though, so maybe it should be.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thanks, Dana. I decided to change it and err on the side of caution.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Growing up in Maryland I was raised to say AppaLAYshun, but a friend of mine in college who grew up in Tennessee convinced me it was AppaLATCHen and I've never been able to go back.
I live within hollerin' distance of the Appalachians, and the version I hear 98% of the time is AppaLAYshun.
But we also have 2 neighborhoods in the city that people pronounce 2 different ways, so we're unreliable like that.
Cheviot = (1) SHEV-eeyut, (2) SHIV-ee-ut.
Mariemont = (1) Ma-REE-mont, (2) MARY-mont.
I say it the first way in both cases. (My brother is a smart ass and pronounces Cheviot as faux-French: SHEV-wah.)

Snow now? What's with Utah this year? Didn't you guys have relatively warm weather while we on the East Coast were digging out from record snows? I thought by this time of year, you all were supposed to go skiing in shorts.
For the past few years, our winters have shifted to later in the season. We'll get surprisingly balmy weather into December but have measurable snow into May. I was expecting this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Who wouldn't?? You should hear me say Detroit.
I just had my last meeting for my now former job. Aw! I have to send some farewell emails and make a couple of calls, but that's it! Crazy.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I live in NC and my sis definitely went to AppaLATCHen State University.
In NC we have BOW-fert and SC they have BYU-fert. Both are spelled Beaufort.

I've recently noticed that people pronounce my new state in different ways. Call-a-RAD-o and Col-or-AH-doe. Strange.
