That's not a "man" by my definition. Nanny police are out there and want you to conform.

"It's all for the public good." Anyone stating this strikes fear in my heart.

There is current confusion over what constitutes the two genders. Those that suffer from that confusion could benefit from special re-education camps.
Again, all for the public good.

Awesome! I've always supported some form of corporal punishment for people who use such vernacular.

As this is a car site, can we also address automotive babble? Things like "I need tires for my 2015 Chally." Just say Challenger for Pete's sake!

Or how about the fact everyone's car has "door cards" all of a sudden. Did we turn British overnight? They were always door panels or door trim panels until Wheeler Dealers hit the airwaves.

The bottom line is most people are very easily influenced...even if it makes them look like boobs.

Please, significantly more trivial topics have been discussed here for +25 pages. If you aren't interested in the topic, be an adult and move on.

British overnight? Nope, but it's a global world we live in, especially with respect to TV and movies, and this is bound to happen. If I have to listen to my fellow Muricans mangle the English language you may have to listen to the occasional Oh my giddy aunt or Bob's your uncle.

But I get it, you want to take political cheap shots not even remotely germane to the discussion here too even though those aren't allowed either. So I guess you believe you are the arbiter of what is good or bad or right or wrong here - from BITOG rules and appropriate topics to political candidates to which states to live in.

There are apps and even software as old as Word that can assist you with punctuation and grammar. Might be helpful for you.

That moment when you go out of your way to defend someone taking crap from others and their reading comprehension is so bad they attack you for defending their right to post the topic...

I'm sorry I tried to help you. It won't happen again.

On the babification thing. I actually asked myself. How come my son is 10 years old, a black belt in karate, yet doesn’t know how to ride a bike (my fault not his, pandemic is not an excuse but a factor)? My wife taught him in just 2 days. Then we discover friends have kids in the same boat and some even teens. Yet of course our gen rode bikes at 4 and ice skated at 2. It is the infantilization where simulation is just as good as the real thing. Tablets iPads phones imho

My daughter has a friend that can not ride a bike, can not swim, and has no interest in driving a car at 20. No medical reason for any of them - I asked because I know that can be the case.

I am like how does this happen?

Smart kid too.

1.za- it's pizza
2. taters-they are potatoes
3. Sammies- they are sandwiches
4. Sammich- see above
5. Tuck in- you're in the US, not the UK.
6. Chicki parm- it's chicken Parmesan
7. Any Sopranos influenced term for delicatessen meats...it's capicola not gabbagoul , mannigott- it's manicotti, it's spaghetti or marinara sauce-not gravy

The above is entirely for the public good.

1. Only time I use za is playing Scrabble. Have never heard anyone say this in real life.
2. I've heard taters. Meh. tater tots are cool, though.
3. Sammies. Don't like it
4. Sammich. Have a friend that says it. She sounds silly.
5. Never heard of a tuck in. Although, speaking of UK, I think it's cool that they say "take away" while we say "to go"
6. Never heard anyone say chicki. "Chicken parm" is a frequent term. Only a mook would say "chicken parmesan".
7. I hear these words in my house on a regular basis from my wife. We have a playful argument about it often. Although, for whatever reason, spaghetti doesn't get shortened to spaghett. We just call it "sauce".

Dumb parents. Parents are supposed to instill life skills into their offspring. I consider the ability to swim a basic survival skill. My son had a few school mates who were lacking basic life skills and who had no interest in outdoor activities or in learning to drive.

I like that show with the alligator hunters in the Louisiana swamps but for many of the folks I can’t understand a word they say,I am thankful for the inserted English subtitles!

The kid down the street taught my 19-year-old around 4. My 19-year-old taught my 17-year-old around 5. My 17-year-old taught my 14-year-old around I can't remember but it was late. I have had nothing to do with it...lol.
