I have a friend from Minnesota who has a plethora of improper common catch phrases.
"Are you joking me?" (*Kidding)
"I borrowed her twenty dollars." (*Lent)
He also calls a video game console a "counsel". The way to structures his sentences drive me up the wall. What is worse is that he believes he is correct for the most part because "Everyone from Minnesota talks that way"... How can this be? He thinks I am being ridiculous and I have to prove myself correct. I guess it is safe to say avoiding Minnesota and former Minnesota residents is advisable.
