Do you have a source pointing at that common definition? I lived a majority of my life in the West US (ID, MT, WA), and have never heard North Dakota referred to as the West. Maybe it's a Canadian thing? -100W is the border of Manitoba

Is biweekly twice a week or every two weeks? My previous gig had grooming/internal grooming every week. We had stand ups twice a week (biweekly). Almost all of these meetings were relatively worthless imo. They existed to justify a BA&

In German, the vowels between schwül and schwul were really difficult to do for me as an American English speaker. I couldn't ever hear the difference between rounded and unrounded vowels. American English vowels are only rounded in th

As someone who is fourth generation Polish in America--basically all that's left at that point is food and people butchering your last name--is that even though pirogi is plural in Polish, plenty of Americans have made pirogis the plur
