I can't take it anymore. Part 2 (sentence, quote)

[CraigCreek]

"Teeny tiny towns aren't the easiest to integrate into especially if everyone there is related by bloodier marriage..."

Vampire Town???

[Morrigan20]

"He couldn't make the sell." "I've got a car for sell."

Regardless of how it's mispronounced in the South, it's SALE!

"My parents gifted me with a bike."

GIFT is not a verb and I don't care what the online dictionaries say!

Thank god there was a medal guard rail up or they would have came into on coming traffic.

I wonder if that was the smoke that I seen. - these comments were all in a row, posted by different posters, prompting me to exclaim, "I can't take it anymore!"

I'm from the south. I don't notice that word being "mispronounced." "Sale" and "sell" sound distinctly different to me.

"Sale" rhymes with "snail." " "Sell" rhymes with "shell."

Then you don't live in this part of The South, cuz 'round here sale/sail/sell are all pronounced "sayull."

Well I'm pretty sure we don't live in the same town or county.

But I've lived in Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas and Texas and everywhere I've lived, people say "sale" (as in snail) and sell (as in shell). Actually in some areas I have heard "SA-yul" and "SE-el" but there's definitely a difference.

But hey, that's just my personal observation. Yours differs, and that's OK.

Thank you. I was so worried you wouldn't approve.
