Heard ALL of that. And yeah, it’s mostly just pronunciation. Or some made-up cutsie word for something.

Warsh is rampant through MD but not consistent.

“Red up” is grammar issue partly. I bet it stems from “ready”. The up is superfluous.

My MIL says “Keller” all the time and drives me crazy! But again, just “accent”.

“Needs cut” is unique to me. Never heard such a weird grammar situation, and yes the much-maligned blacks with Ebonics don’t do it!

The other thing is let vs leave. What would you think when someone asks if you left the dog out, and the dog is right there IN the family room? I didn’t know howto answer except hey, the dog here! Yeah, that’s massive confusion, my first realization that something was really off!

Ever heard of being “snoopy”? Or is that just my MIL as I haven’t heard anyone else say that yet.
