Date: April 28th, 2026 3:22 PM Author: Metal Up Your Ass I haven't heard people talk like this. Is this a regional thing?
I've also heard of people mixing leave and let, which is another one I've never actually experienced. |

Date: April 28th, 2026 3:38 PM Author: Is it not the case (Is it not the case) Axe a question is especially grating. I say this as someone who is a big fan of AAVE. I think it's a wonderful dialect. That being said I can't take anyone seriously who says axe. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5861263&forum_id=2).#49849074) |

Date: April 28th, 2026 3:50 PM Author: oomox For me, "anymore" requires a negative, like, they don't do this thing (that they used to do) anymore. The positive construction sounds odd to me. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5861263&forum_id=2).#49849112) |

Date: April 28th, 2026 3:40 PM Author: Is it not the case (Is it not the case) My biggest pet peeve is when gunneratttt uses nonplussed in its nouveau Reddit-chic usage to mean not completely happy when it really means shocked to the point of speechlessness. It's supposed to mean "I can't even..." but the internet crowd has lazily repurposed it. gunneratttt says nonplussed wrong about 5 times per month.
