Nah, ain't true y'all
Same. I prefer to go grocery shopping mid-day, vvhen everyone's at vvork.
The first time I savv my husband's vvriting, I had to inform him that 'and' has a 'd' in it. He vvas vvriting it as : "I vvent to the store an got cheese an eggs an bread."
Indeed yes. I had a very good longer-than-average night's sleep.
My wife is pretty good at spotting Northumbrian and Welsh accents. And of course, cockney and someone from Scotland stands out even if lacking a kilt. But as I've discovered, there are even language differences. A few times on the British Antiques Road Trip series I've heard words used that were explained as a regionalism.
I was in a hotel around your neck of the woods. Cable TV was playing an old Taggart. Taggart was an Glaswegian police detective and the main actor (Mark McManus) was born and raised in the area but his accent was understood (otherwise he wouldn't have got the part)
Back to the US, the program had subtitles.
Edit. I was born and raised less than 40 miles from Liverpool, I can't understand a word of Scouse (Liverpool accent)
There was a PBS show entitled something like "The Story of English" that covered the history of English, how it had mutated in various places and also accents. When I was in India, I became aware of the difference between Indian English and American English both in accent and words. And the famous exchange about wool illustrates that understanding Scottish English is more than just learning "bairn" and "lassie"
Oo?

The perishables might be slightly perished by the time I get them to you.
Maybe I oughta just have you pick up pantry stuff, then. I'll vvait for the farmer's market to open for produce.
And live off of ice cream until then.

I'll add those who insist I get out of THEIR lane and will talegate until I move.
Put on Bad Habit by Offspring, it always helps to make me a better driver.
