[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine calls families / couples by their last names only vs THE whatever. [b]“We had dinner with Smiths.” “We went boating with Martins.”[/b] She’s also always asking about the next meal, even if we’re literally eating. It’s her trying to be hospitable and plan, but it’s stressful. I don’t want to think about dinner tonight and breakfast tomorrow when I’m eating lunch on vacation![/quote] Is she from the Midwest? I had a MIL from Iowa, and she was the only person I ever heard do this. [/quote] Yes! She’s from Michigan. I love her dearly but for some reason it grates when she says this.[/quote] Idk why people think this is a Midwest thing. I’ve lived in Michigan my entire life and have never heard someone talk like that. Even the really folksy people. Seems like a speech issue to drop ‘the.’ [/quote] Also from MI and never heard this before in my life.[/quote]
