1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    You can dismiss this message by clicking on the X in the upper right corner.

    Karin = Karen

    ***Use “Karin” to describe the annoying, entitled, antagonist person, so that “Karen” isn’t offensive to those women that are named Karen - that are actually decent people.

    At times like this, etymology can be helpful.
    Much of those posts are due to an accent making a word's pronunciation sound as though it is different from its actual spelling.

    Easiest example, just up this page is priddy/pretty.
    The word is pretty in both instances but the persons accent makes it sound 'd' instead of 't'.
    So, if someone, somewhere in the US, says priddy, but another in CA says pretty, it doesn't mean there's two words and it doesn't mean 'priddy' is correct.

    Yes, I know it's a fun thread.:sunglasses: Edumacation never harmed anyone though, did it?! lol
