>Pierced Ears. As my high school English teacher once noted, it’s only 4 letters long. PSDS.

>I'm saying someone is a "drawer", as in someone who draws artistically, I say it "drah-er."
An artist who excels in drawing is referred to as a draftsman
Never "drawer."

Mom is from Warwick and is the queen butcher of English.
Ever been to a mouse themed pizza restaurant for kids? It’s called Chunkie Chah-lee’s. Need a ride from the airport? Book a You-buh.

My family moved to RI when I was 2yo. My parents don't have RI accents so I learned the standard pronunciation of drawer as a small kid. When I went to school, everyone of course said "draw". My kid brain decided that they were two separate words that just happened to refer to the same thing. I believed that until high school!

I saw this morning’s rant and thought the exact same thing. Then I thought “didn’t I unfollow these characters?”

My son is always making fun of my accent and I'm the one who taught him to talk.

Unfortunately being unemployed and not being able to pass a credit check means you’re not going to get an apartment from a private owner. A shelter or family would be the only option’ sorry to say

AS220 is far from the community arts organization it started as. Now it’s worth about $20 million because owns a bunch of buildings downtown tax free and is mostly acts as a full time corporate landlord.

Don't know why this is downvoted many people just don't understand what is happening.
Cutting off our energy independence means buying from other Countries means our prices go up.
It's like a simple math equation the stewnards can't understand or grasp.
