Totally. I forgot all about expanded tryna, as I almost never hear it outside of television. You may be on to something there.
Eh, it might be a regional thing, but I agree with OP. 'I apologize' feels kinda snarky. But then again, as a Canadian, saying sorry is kinda one of our national pastimes.
This might be a regional difference, but when I say it out loud, 'tryna not kill myself' is by far the more natural construction. But I agree that in writing, 'trying not to kill myself' feels more natural, while 'trying to not kill myself' feels stilted and intentionally awkward. Man I love language.
I will never understand why people put giant lifts on trucks, but don't install bigger tires. In the 4x4 world, you actually want a lower center of gravity so you don't flip, meaning that normally you only lift your truck enough to fit the size of tire that you want. These pavement princesses look like wrestlers with ballerina legs.
I guess the joke is on me, I've had a sinus infection or something for like a month so my nose is always either running, or clogged. Sometimes both at the same time!
Not surprised at all. Pearson is the worst airport I've ever had the pleasure of passing through.
My brother and I quote this money to this day, such a classic.
"How could he see me?"
Well that was dumb.
Inyalowda!
Mine does that too. It's usually only for around 20 seconds, so it doesn't really bother me.
Okay, cool. I live very close to Switzerland (close enough that my wife works there.) As I am also an anglophone living in a non-anglophone country, Lemmy is basically my sole source of English language news and whatnot. It's sometimes very difficult to be surrounded by another language and culture, and this place has become my escape in a way. Reddit was great back in the day, but I can no longer support the enshitification it has suffered.
