    I should not have looked at https://www.rarepoultrysociety.com/breed-gallery.html that @Perris shared. There are some seriously beautiful chickens! I really need more land and unlimited funds. ;-)

    Not with wHat or wHere, in those cases the H is silent. With wHo, the H is the prominent sound, "Hoo", but I am a darned Yankee, born in Vermont, despite living all over the country. We always tell people, the Egg Thief is Old England and I am New England.

    I used to get ridiculed for speaking properly, even by my own family, I was actually accused of being a snob (although sometimes more rude terms were used.) because I did not use contractions or slang most of my childhood and teen years, but it was just the way I spoke. I spent most of my...

    "gotten" just never sounded right to me and I grew up with it. I have been sitting here trying to say the word in my head and it just sounds wrong so I looked it up: The word "gotten" is actually a proper part of English, particularly in American English, though it can sound odd or informal...

    My mom drove herself to the doctor after her stroke a few months ago, instead of calling me to say she was having problems. I took the car away from her.

    I am from Vermont, now transplanted in South Carolina, I never had snow tires and most of my life had rear-wheel drive vehicles and *touchwood, never wrecked. The first year we were down here, we had a snow, in the morning before I left for work, it was just a light slushy snow, on my way in...

    I don't need/use eye drops, my vision is just getting worse. I spend 10+/- hours a day on a computer, with 3 screens for work, for the last 20 years. :-(

    My eyes are too bad to do anything on the phone beyond call and text. Too many years staring at screens.

    'Chat talk' just makes complicated language differences more complicated. I am the annoying person that spells everything out when texting...LOL and I am not nearly as fast as my 35 y/o son. *sigh

    Over here, abbreviations are capitalized to indicate that it is an abbreviation, although in the world of on-line communications, all caps is used as shouting, so that isn't necessarily a good indicator anymore. Typically you would use the period/full stop, A.C.V. or S.N.A.F.U to be more...

    The coldest that I remember, from Vermont was -36, it was not pleasant, but it was survivable, the wind made uncomfortable. I like the cold, I just not that cold. :-)

    Spud and Goldie always greet us, every time, Squeaky does sometimes, Walnut and Tater, rarely more than a look to acknowledge our presence and to see if we are bringing treats LOL.

    All the boys seem to recognize their names, I think the girls do too, but don't really care because they are too busy eating.

    I used to get in trouble in school for my mixed spellings, some of my early home learning came from my Scottish Great Grandmother and Welsh Great Grandfather. I am constantly mixing up my English'es'.
