    And just cause it doesn't make sense, " mega millions". That literally means "million millions".

    And just to make sure everyone here knows, its a " water heater". Not a "Hot Water Heater". You don't heat hot water.

    Well, English is kind of difficult to understand to begin with.

    1. use of standard time zone abbreviations (e.g. 'MST', 'EST') during daylight savings. pro-tip: stick with the two-letter abbreviations (e.g. 'MT', 'ET') year-round unless you have a really rare corner-case, like a Tundra owner from Colorado meeting another Tundra owner from California for a wheelin' trip in Arizona during the summer months.
    2. "reoccurence" (the word you're looking for is 'recurrence')
    3. use of 'literally' to mean 'figuratively'. I don't GAF what the dictionary says these days, that's wrong
    4. the phrase "you can't get there from here", I actually really like that expression, even though it offends my sensibility
    5. mixing up "i.e." and "e.g."
    6. inconsistent use of single vs double quotes :devil:

    Lots of colloquial speech is limited to a specific industry or region, and if not adhered to marks you as an outsider. This is not necessarily bad, just reality.
    Examples:
    Coyote; Native westerners mostly say ki-yote, most easterners say kie-yote-ee.

    Bermuda (grass); west Texas farmers/ranchers are likely to say “muda” as in , “Time to get this muda cut and bailed”.

    Brahma; very similar to Bermuda, pronounced bramer, with a long A.

    Prescott; AZ natives mostly pronounce this as Press-kit.

    There’s lots of this and I enjoy listening to most speech patterns. Not the jersey shore dialect, so much...lol
