they are a disaster anymore.

Just picking up on a previous comment about the so-called "positive anymore."

 

Positive anymore occurs in some varieties of North American English, especially in Philadelphia and the Delaware Valley, Baltimore and its suburbs, as well as Midland variety widely spoken in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Iowa, and Missouri; its usage extends to Nevada, Utah and some other western U.S. states.[3] It also occurs in parts of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

 

I'm guessing you're from one of these areas.

I am from Detroit, through Boston, and been in NY for 30+ years.

 

I do have a small Scottish sliver on My 23 and Me.

 

 

 

I wouldn't be doing any betting of large sums any time soon.   your guess was way off.

Not way off ... Ohio is in there, so no doubt some Detroiters also used the positive anymore.

Let's just say it's a regional dialect, not necessarily considered wrong. At least not anymore.

So, your issue is with him talking about it vs her Not talking about it.

I saw two spaces in your comments.  I still do that a lot myself.  Hard to unlearn IBM Selectric typewriter protocol.

yes, i took 1 semester of typing in high school.  still have my college copy of the MLA style guide https://www.mla.org/MLA-Style, great book!  but my typing sucks as bad as my French after two semesters.  at this point and to most of this audience, none of that matters.  nothing really does to a nihilist...

perfect outcome from a D perspective.  The R candidate with the lowest polling numbers against Biden advances and the R party is split with Independents favoring Haley

NBC News exit poll: Majority of New Hampshire GOP voters say they are not part of the 'MAGA' movement

Stephanie Perry

Nearly two-thirds (64%) of New Hampshire Republican primary voters said they do not consider themselves part of Trump's "MAGA" movement, according to early NBC News exit poll results.

Among Trump voters, 59% said they consider themselves part of the MAGA movement, while 36% said they do not. 

Last week's Iowa entrance poll found that 46% of GOP caucusgoers said they were part of the MAGA movement. 

Asked whether Trump would be fit to be president if he were convicted of a crime, 50% of New Hampshire GOP primary voters said he would be, and 47% said he would not.
