I don't complain much because I make so many mistakes myself.

But, I have to say, "I seen it" drives me CRAZY!!!!!!

Some friends from the Midwest always say, 'Have a n'urn!' (another)

Expresso. There is no "x" in the real word.

"I've already ate". It's "eaten", folks.

My mom would correct us when we'd say, "I'm done" - - - she'd say are you a piece of meat cooking?

I didn't get it for while - - lol!

I'm finished was what she preferred.

Are they saying, "I am going to H.E.B.'s meat department, etc.?"

OR

Are they saying they are going to every single H.E.B. store in the state of Texas?!!!!!

What is up with adding the "s" at the end?

"I'm going to Walmarts."

Really? You are going to all of them?!!!!!!!

*bump*

I wish someone would explain this to me. I have never understood why people add an "s" to the end of a store name.

And with their expresso, a lot of people order sconces (scones) ... It's true people, my daughter is a barista and she has heard EVERYTHING!
