Why do some make groceries?
the french word for make and do is the same. in french, to shop for groceries is "faire les courses," which translates to english as "make the groceries."

I've always been fascinated with the Yat pronunciation of Calliope as Cal-ee-ope instead of Ca-ly-oh-pee.

I've never heard "ridge" come across that clear. Always sounds like Roudge to me.

"N'awlins"
I can't stand it, but I tolerate it and try and just simply say that we don't say it like that. I also can't stand the way that morning radio newscaster says Sean Pay-Unnnn.
