About the getting lost thing, me too. Truly frightening when alone. Not afraid of being in high places, just can't get close to the edge of the building or cliff. I couldn't climb beyond 2/3 of the way up the lighthouse on Tybee Island, almost needed help getting back down. I had no idea it would be a problem when I started the climb.

People saying 'supposably' which is not a word (I looked it up to be sure) instead of 'supposedly'.
And I had forgotten about 'aks'.
Years ago I used to be a GED examiner for the State of Iowa, and young men would come to tell me they needed the 'testes'. I just kept my mouth shut.

Fog or thick steam. Now, this is different than feeling "fogged in"! I feel as though I can't breathe when I turn on the steam shower, although it has the opposite effect (which is why I do it!). The men in the little white coats are knocking.....

my we ALL have "hang ups", if that is the correct phrase, isn't it? We always hear that "if they're going to live in this country, they need to speak the language" - wellllllll, WE were born and raised here, and alot of us don't know how to speak the language!! Yes, American is the hardest language to learn, but it is our FIRST language, don't you think it is more difficult to learn the correct way of saying something when all we HEAR is SLANG??
Oh - and the "f" word - it is freely said more often by teens and movies....YUCK! I just cannot stand that. WE are making ourselves the way we are, ......"doncha 'ya'll reckon"....sorry about that, I just HAD to!
