Evidently, a common thing here in the Pittsburgh area is to say "anymore" instead of "lately" (example: "I haven't taken my clothes off for money anymore."). When I was a kid, I had read a couple of things describing the proper ways to use "leave" and "let", but I never heard anybody get them wrong when I was in Louisiana. Well, I know what the books were talking about now. Many people up here use "leave" instead of "let" and vice versa.

I know it's kind of silly for a guy from New Orleans to talk about people talking funny, but down there, we just made up our own words. Up here, people use real words, but they use them in strange ways.
