On the lighter side…
The part about the school fundraisers absolutely nails it!
One more good thing about homeschooling.

Same here. You have to be kind of “in on the joke” to get all of it. I went to college with many people from northern West Virginia, and you hear a lot of “warsh”, “needs fixed”, and so on. One time in WV a man behind me in line said “I bet this guy wants waited on”. That was priceless!I love Pittsburgh Dad!
Yes. They insert an R. You will also hear some natives of Washington DC and its suburbs, probably older ones, refer to the city as “Warshington”. Some natives of the northern half of Virginia also say “oot” and “aboot”, just as in the Canadian stereotype.Warsh? Does it mean wash? Like warsh the car?
Indeed. It is one of the nine or so U.S. regional dialects recognized by linguists. And I think the smallest, geographically.. Very colorful dialect.
Fixed it.A lot of people I know from rural PA say “warsh”.
But notPhiladelphiaWawa-land. NeverPhiladelphiaWawa-land.
I know. And they also say “needs fixed”. This seems to be a Scotch-Irish thing that originated in Pennsylvania and migrated west with the settlers.People from Indiana say warsh.
South Philly Italians call tomato sauce gravy.Lived there for 10 years and never heard it.
But I never got used to sauce being called gravy!
I didn’t know! I never heard it used when I lived inNY.Some New Yorkers call it gravy too
