    Traveling across the US is like switching to an alternate dimension where everything is pretty much the same, but a few things are off. Like, Congress is the same, but suddenly there are dunkin’ donuts everywhere and the land is weirdly flat

      People say ‘whenever’ instead of ‘when’ and I want to clock them for it.

      eta: I’m specifically disparaging the southern US states here. They just flat-out use words wrong, and I can say that now that I’m too far away for them to kick my ass.

          I can see why you’ve read it that way, but I’m quite sure they’re saying that some people say a word slightly differently in another part of the USA and they’re joking that it makes them angry.

              I’m right with you haha.

              I thought about it and I say “whenever” pretty often.

              It’s a weird thing to bother someone so much.

              Whenever I think about the silly little things that bother people, I’m all, “Whatever could there reason be?”

              But four a real problem, like one that should bug someone! I used to could go through a day without pain. I reckon I’m done got old.

              Wander how the commenter wood fill about that. To much little stuff bothers folks. Shood worry about big thangs.
