I'm going to continue with my binge posts and the word ones:
I watch a lot of those House Hunter shows and I've noticed that Americans pronounce foyer as "foy-er". I'm pretty sure all Canadians pronounce it "foy-yay". I get a twitch every time I hear "foy-er" lol0 -
Except for crayon and coupon (q-pon), I pronounce each of those words interchangeably. I guess it depends on my mood or something.
I also randomly bust out with a fake British accent.0 -

FOY-YAY! I totally understand what you mean when you cringe, I stopped watch home improvement shows for that reason.... I'm also that person that will correct you while you're talking if you pronounce something wrong.0 -

Doesn't every non-British person? I assume British people will bust out fake American or Canadian accents too.0 -

Same. I also can't "like" something on Facebook if it has a spelling or grammatical error.

They probably do. I wonder if they all impersonate southern people more than other regions?

I will too, unless it's someone I don't know very well. But once that stumble has been made, my brain stops on that word and I miss a lot of what's said after it.

Today is Free tea Day at McAlister's, $1 regular coney day at Sonic, and free turnover, lava cake, or shake day at Arby's. I'm tempted to go to all of these places just for free/cheap food.0

I have a few teacher friends or friends with degrees that have atrocious grammar and/or spelling. It makes my heart and eyes hurt.

I'm all about sir-up

I use my phone's voice dictation and Bluetooth in my car if I have to text someone while I'm stopped at an intersection, and it drives me nuts when it spells a word with multiple spellings the wrong way. For example, I tried to tell Siri to write "tailor your resume", which came out as "Taylor you're resume". It also constantly auto-corrects to the wrong "you're" a lot. I'll rephrase my message over sending one with wrong grammar, if I get the choice. I also hate when I've got a word spelled in a certain way, but right before the message sends, Siri auto-corrects it to something else.0

I stand corrected. It must just be the people they select for that show! Just to bug the rest of us lol

At birthday parties as a kid I sometimes decided to not take cake and just eat ice cream. Especially those gross cakes with the generic icing you can get in grocery stores. Don't know what the type of icing is called... but while kids were screaming for the piece in the center with the most blue frilly icing on it, I was like ''Just give me the end piece." Now one time I had a cake that switched out icing for some delicious strawberry filling and I was all for seconds.
This is me, except the strawberry filling part, since I generally hate fruit mixed into any kind of dessert. Most grocery store cakes and even standard bakery cakes taste yucky to me, especially that really weird styrofoam textured icing that they use. It's very, very rare that I find a cake that I actually WANT to eat--there's only ONE bakery in Oman that I enjoy cake from. One. In the whole country. (At least it's the only one that I know of, and I've tasted quite a lot.)
Exactly! When I first met my in-laws, they bought a cake that was supposedly red velvet from a bakery that has a good reputation here in Saudi Arabia. It was terrible--it tasted just like a grocery store cake, stale and styrofoamy. I forced it down out of politeness.
The cake bakery that I enjoy makes THE BEST dense, fresh, DELICIOUS cakes with real buttercream icing, cream cheese frosting, chocolate ganache, etc. They aren't cheap, but they're worth every penny. I go there every time I visit Oman. I haven't found anything like it in Saudi Arabia. :-/
Confession: I make buttercream and eat it without cake. Sometimes I mix in blueberries or strawberries.
At least you make the buttercream.
Your post just reminded me that there is some leftover pre-made frosting in my fridge and I fully intend to eat it, with a spoon, over the next few days... willful cakelessness. Nor am I going to mix in fruit and up the nutritional quotient.
I love frosting. I happily eat it without cake. Sometimes I eat it off the cake and throw the cake away.
Hahaha I do too Patricia!! I heart icing so much!
When I would stay at my grandma's I would always look in her fridge to see if she had any icing & then I would take a spoon & eat some.
In high school my friends & I would go to the grocery store on our spares just to buy icing to eat.
American translation?
Probably what we would call a study hall? Just a guess.
I was thinking of a "free period" or something, where you don't have any class that hour. We didn't have anything like it in my high school (years and years ago... ) Study hall was an actual class you had to attend, or be found absent.
Yearbook staff got to spend study hall running all over school taking random photos. Loved it!
