7:35 am

rururocks

7:36 am

hokie carla

ugh

7:36 am

cosdem

some days i can walk, some i cant.

7:36 am

rururocks

oh that's the worst.. so sorry

7:36 am

FrenchToast

cos, what surgery is MD recommending?

7:37 am

FrenchToast

If kyphoplasty is appropriate, that is the least invasive.

7:37 am

cosdem

that dr was rude.. he said "you need surgery" i was like well if i dont have itt happens? he says itll stay the same or get better. i didnt ask specifically.. i didnt have an interpteter (ADA laws did not apply as it was a small office)... so my husband tried his best but since i decided no surgery i didnt bother to ask husband what exactly

7:38 am

hokie carla

sometimes I try so hard to make up k words that I almost miss the regular ones

7:38 am

cosdem

kyphoplasty? i will check with my PCP next week and see of the specialist suggested thyat

7:38 am

saanichcat

hiya hokie

7:39 am

hokie carla

does your PCP speak ASL or do you have an interpreter there?

7:39 am

hokie carla

howdy saan

7:39 am

cosdem

i have a permanent ASL interpreter for my PCP... automatically schedueld when I am.

7:39 am

FrenchToast

I'm so sorry that happened cos. Surgeons have terrible communication skills. I would ask specifically if kyphoplasty is appropriate.

7:39 am

cosdem

i will ask for sure FT.. thank you

7:39 am

hokie carla

that's good

7:39 am

FrenchToast

I'm a retired phys therapist, so have worked with lots of spinal patients.

7:40 am

FrenchToast

I hope you can go to a different MD!

7:41 am

FrenchToast

On a personal note, my Aunt had kyphoplasty and it was life-changing for her. No more pain, and she could go for long walks without problems.

7:41 am

hokie carla

ooh, gotta jet. going to step class today. will probably be back at some point. adios, amigos.

7:41 am

cosdem

the specialist's office had less than 25 staff so they were exempt from ADA law... whch is the same reason I cannot get an appointment wirh ND...i need one so i can get an official diagnosisi so my pcp can give me meds for my autism

7:41 am

FrenchToast

hurshy

lol

9:09 am

ChampFit

Modelo. I was out with friends last night and one of my buds was drinking it.

9:10 am

hurshy

ah

9:10 am

hurshy

mine is also a Norse god

9:11 am

ChampFit

you're gonna have to give it to me...

9:12 am

rehi - I did try modelo earlier (in the grid, not the beer IRL)

9:12 am

hokie carla

loki

9:12 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!!!

9:12 am

ChampFit

A little early for the beer...

9:13 am

hokie carla

also too much gluten

9:13 am

ChampFit

You're so right about that! I love beer, but the next day bloat is a pain in the butt. It's so good in the summer!

9:13 am

hurshy

i learned something interesting about

9:13 am

hurshy

beer yesterday

9:13 am

ChampFit

tell!

9:13 am

hokie carla

luckily I never acquired the taste for beer

9:14 am

ChampFit

Phantom: episode

9:15 am

hurshy

apparently indigenous people used to make a sort of beer that had neither hops nor wheat and it used like herbs that have certain effects on the brain, and then used it for spiritual purposes. and then white people were anti-indigenous-spirituality and made beer purity laws that it had to be made with wheat or hops

9:16 am

hurshy

speaking of E words, i cannot find the ones on the right

9:16 am

ChampFit

That's interesting. There's such a thing as gluten free beer, but I haven't tried it. My SIL has celiac disease, so she drinks it sometimes.

9:17 am

ChampFit

Are there any ps words?

9:17 am

hurshy

idk i need five of that P

9:18 am

hurshy

not psis or psoae/psoai/psoas...

9:18 am

hurshy

and not psst

9:18 am

ChampFit

Yeah...I'm doubtful.

9:18 am

hokie carla

well I just started a 60 question dialect quiz, so this might take a while. stumped on question 4 when I can't remember how I say the word grocery.

9:18 am

penquis

no ps words...it's easy to check in lickety...

9:19 am

ChampFit

I'm trying to hold out on looking pen. Thank you!

9:19 am

hurshy

we know that but sometimes we dont' want to open the list yet :)

9:19 am

hurshy

thanks

9:19 am

hurshy

oh duh i got those Es

9:19 am

penquis

well i just didn't look at anything else... ;o)

9:19 am

ChampFit

I'm down to 20 but will likely be in Lickety sooner rather than later...

9:19 am

hurshy

you have good self-control

9:20 am

penquis

:oD

9:20 am

hurshy

finally found an 8, in the bottom row

9:21 am

ChampFit

I have them all. Lemme know if you want any help.

9:21 am

ChampFit

I'm annoyed that fangle and fangled aren't accepted.

9:22 am

hurshy

yeah, how can something be new-fangled if there is no fangled

9:22 am

ChampFit

exactly!

9:22 am

hokie carla

maybe it's old fangled

9:22 am

hurshy

but enable has lots of old-fangled words

9:23 am

ChampFit

fact

9:25 am

hurshy

i saw this vid a couple days ago where a gal was complaining about people "changing" spelling by using -ise instead of -ize, like summarise vs summarize. it seemed to be genuine and not satire. she was all "WORDS MATTER!" and everyone in the comments was like "that's just how it's spelled in British English".

9:27 am

penquis

i wonder why so many people now pronounce ST in a word as SHT....it's like the language is morphing....

9:27 am

hurshy

language always morphs

9:27 am

hurshy

that's why there's Old English and Middle English

9:28 am

penquis

but with the internet chat and videos, it's changing much faster, i think....

9:28 am

hurshy

yes

9:28 am

hurshy

probably

9:29 am

hurshy

i don'd mind language changing so much as i mind AI and stuff

9:30 am

hurshy

some things annoy me but i know it's basically irrational, just a matter of taste. like most people now say "on accident" instead of "by accident" and i HATE IT, but like, there is no real reason why it has to be one preposition instead of the other.

9:30 am

penquis

i am constantly reminded of a movie i saw in the late 70s about a computer system that took over a building and killed people...like with the elevator dropping, things like that....

9:31 am

hurshy

we've already had (in Ukraine) the first person killed by an AI drone that was not connected to a person

9:31 am

hurshy

i mean it's still humans telling it to go kill or destroy things, so it's not like totally gone rogue, but, yeah

9:32 am

penquis

awful stuff...

9:33 am

hurshy

yeah i feel like my estimate of the odds of me dying of old age goes down daily

9:34 am

penquis

another awful thought...

9:35 am

hurshy

i have a real talent for awful thoughts

9:35 am

hurshy

my brain is capable of anxiety about pretty much anything. once i had a nightmare where i had TOO MANY CUTE KITTENS to take care of.

9:35 am

hurshy

that's some mad skillz right there

9:37 am

penquis

LOL....probably shouldn't laugh about your nightmare, but the image in my mind was kind of like Lucy on the assembly line...

9:37 am

hurshy

you are supposed to laugh, it's semi-dark humor

9:37 am

hurshy

i said it for you to laugh

9:40 am

ChampFit

hursh...my dad used to POUNCE on my if I said "on accident".

9:40 am

penquis

it just doesn't make any sense...

9:40 am

hurshy

yeah i did with my students. it was just kind of automatic to correct it for me. i haven't been around people saying it for awhile now so idk if it would still happen.

9:41 am

ChampFit

And my latest pet peeve is the way some people are leaving out consonants. Like no do di-int, instead of didn't.

9:41 am

penquis

of course, i was taught to never say OFF OF.....but now it seems that most people do say that....

9:41 am

ChampFit

no YOU di-int

9:41 am

ChampFit

I assume they don't know better, but it's not up to me to correct it.

9:42 am

hurshy

"off the wall" uses off as the preposition, whereas "off of the wall" uses it as an adverb and of is the preposition, so they both seem reasonable to me

9:42 am

hurshy

the dropping of consonants is a dialect thing

9:42 am

hurshy

it's hard not to have that reaction but at the same time i know it's basically racist and classist

9:42 am

penquis

well off of wasn't reasonable to my English teachers.. ;o)

9:43 am

hurshy

the trouble is many teachers don't THINK, they just say "this is the rule"

9:43 am

ChampFit

No, that dialect thing has spilled over and all kinds of people...(younger mostly) are doing it.

9:44 am

penquis

some of it is picked up from music, videos, internet "influencers" (hate that word)....

9:44 am

hurshy

i was observing a third grade class talking about contractions, and this kid asked if you could say "i've not" for "i have not" as opposed to "i haven't". and of course you can, and it's more of a 18th/19th century formulation, but this teacher just said "no, that wouldn't be right"

9:44 am

hurshy

and that killed me a little

9:45 am

ChampFit

Was his teacher 12 years old? Of course you can!

9:45 am

cosdem

imma gonna guess and say the teacher was young?

9:45 am

hurshy

the dialect may be spreading, but, the idea that it is a less acceptable dialect is what's racist

9:45 am

hurshy

the teacher was in her 30s i'd say

9:45 am

ChampFit

Cos! Glad to see you.

9:45 am

cosdem

as a TA i worked with both young and older teachers... the older ones made more sense and was more flexible...
Hi champ and all :)

9:46 am

Sophie214

I taught 3rd grade for many years. I only wish my students came up with words like that.

9:46 am

ChampFit

Ha! Seriously. The kid was making the connections for sure.

9:46 am

penquis

good point, Sophie....

9:47 am

hurshy

i also worked with a math teacher who was doing the "teach multiple ways to solve a problem" thing, and then on the test, saying "solve these with method A" and "solve these other ones with method B" and so on, and i was like, but the whole point of teaching multiple methods is so kids can pick the ONE that works best for THEM, really, so idk if it makes sense to force them to use both. and she was like, "really?" and called in another teacher and asked her about that and the teacher agreed with me.

9:48 am

ChampFit

vindication!

9:48 am

hurshy

so yeah the lack of thinking among teachers is very disturbing

9:49 am

hurshy

sigh

9:50 am

hurshy

what's weird is that the human brain can be capable of so much (einstein, hawking, etc) and yet in the vast majority of people it seems to be far more limited. seems like such a waste.

9:50 am

ChampFit

I'm stuck at 20 so going to take a break and get on with my day. BBL.

9:50 am

hurshy

ttfn champ

9:51 am

penquis

bye, champ...

9:52 am

hurshy

well i found info about the 9 and two other 8s in the chog

9:52 am

hurshy

so just one other 8 missing now

9:52 am

hurshy

the ones that have been mentioned are fa8, gl8, po8

9:54 am

cosdem

id love to di9 sometimes :P

9:54 am

penquis

i only have the fa, ga and po....

9:55 am

penquis

oh...found it....hi cos....

9:55 am

hurshy

AND now that i was alerted to the ending of po8 and fa8 i finished the 7s

9:55 am

hurshy

what is it pen?

9:55 am

penquis

the di 9...

9:56 am

hurshy

oh, i thought you meant the fourth 8 :)

9:56 am

cosdem

oh thank you for the fa8

9:57 am

hurshy

:)

9:57 am

cosdem

still need one more 8... I have po, fa, gl

9:58 am

penquis

if you can be lopsided, why isn't lopside a word?....

9:58 am

penquis

i am missing one 8 as well....

9:58 am

cosdem

same for.. if you can be fangled... why not fangle

9:59 am

hurshy

because not everything that ends with -ed is a past tense verb, some are just adjectives, pen

10:01 am

hurshy

except you can't even be fangled, that's what we were complaining about earlier. there's only new-fangled, not fangled

10:01 am

cosdem

aw poop :P

10:02 am

penquis

well i am taking a break...bye all....

10:03 am

cosdem

ah found ta7 and ta8...

10:04 am

cosdem

129 left.. break time then will be back to list...

10:07 am

hurshy

here is another example about -ed adjectives: a person can be bigoted, if they are a bigot, with bigotry. but there's no verb "to bigot", so "bigoted" isn't a past tense verb, just an adjective.

10:07 am

hurshy

in case anyone is interested

10:08 am

dauber

But any word can be verbed.

10:08 am

hurshy

yes, verbing words is an increasingly popular linguistic trend

10:09 am

hurshy

which i like, on the whole

10:11 am

hokie carla

rehi - the dialect quiz linked me to Alabama, which I've only been to like twice

10:12 am

hurshy

well, given that you were having trouble remembering how you say things, i can see why the results might be less accurate, lol

10:17 am

hurshy

*slaps self with fish*

10:17 am

hurshy

the last 8 is ta8 and it's a plural of a ta7 that i had

10:19 am

hokie carla

lol

10:20 am

hokie carla

I had to say grocery store several times to decide I say it groshery, which was one of the options

10:23 am

hurshy

i saw a video yesterday about boston and it was one guy playing 2 characters, neither of which had a boston accent. go figure.

10:24 am

hokie carla

I have a neighbor here with the strongest boston accent I've heard in person. he calls me cahla.

10:29 am

BzznBea

10:39 am

hokie carla

lol

10:40 am

BzznBea

lol

10:41 am

hokie carla

I had to say that one a few times and finally decided I say allmond

10:43 am

welki

plopped me smack dab in the middle of new york

10:44 am

hurshy

it doesn't include canada i suppose, so it has to put you in the US?

10:45 am

hokie carla

she grew up in NY I believe

10:45 am

welki

10:46 am

12:24 pm

hokie carla

12:27 pm

bichon

DH is from Florida. He pronounce your state as Mahrland. I pronounce it as Merryland

12:27 pm

MollyL

I know a lot of people who call them potato bugs

12:28 pm

hokie carla

I say Mary and merry the same but marry different

12:29 pm

hokie carla

12:30 pm

hokie carla

well, I'm saving 48 for later or never. TTFN

12:31 pm

MollyL

12:38 pm

1:51 pm

MollyL

Mar-a-lando?

1:53 pm

So apparently I sound most like someone from New Hampshire (about 52%). Or San Francisco, Los Angeles, or Seattle Washington.

5:14 pm

mich_pdx

Lol, Gillie! what Province are you from?

5:39 pm

mich_pdx

We lived in PA until I was 6, my parents are both from the NE US, then we moved to Seattle. I have a Pacific NW accent but use Northeast vocabulary.

5:41 pm

mich_pdx

And I still say "root" for route and not ruht or ruhf lke a true-born Washingtonian.

5:45 pm

MollyL

I've only heard root or rowt for route. Never ruht or ruhf.

6:00 pm

mich_pdx

OK, I just took the quiz mentioned below, and came out 52% Portland, OR, San Francisco and LA. Lol. No Seattle accent, despite living here ages 6-29.

6:04 pm

it's interesting that a majority of states seem to pronounce grocery as groshery...

6:27 pm

6:29 pm

penquis

i suppose so....

6:29 pm

MollyL

Never heard anyone pronounce it groshery. Or heard that on any news, movies or TV

6:30 pm

MollyL

Or heard of a proprietor called a grosher

6:30 pm

penquis

well i mentioned to Hurshy that i am hearing more and more people in the media using SH instead of Ss in words....so i guess groshery shouldn't be surprising...

6:30 pm
