You say she "has to create" this and that he "apparently needs parenting". Did you have some additional context that informs that opinion?

I used to work for a company based in Draper, Utah. Once while visiting headquarters I had one of my Utah-native coworkers tell me that Utah is number one in the nation for Ice Cream, cosmetic surgery, and anti-depressants.

Your metabolic rate can be several times higher in a pool or other body of water than it is on land without any exercise at all. Body heat is lost at a much higher rate when you are submerged in water and your body will burn more fuel to maintain core temperature.

It was friends and YouTube content creators from the UK that made me realize that dropping the L isn't done everywhere else. I grew up thinking that it was just one of those English words that break all the pronunciation rules.

I already do this with the word "solder" which confuses my fellow Americans greatly. They seem to think I'm lying that the L is sounded out in some other English speaking countries.

I just think the American pronunciation (SAW-dur) sounds wrong.

I am a California native that lived in Metro Austin for three years. The lack of a state tax didn't make up for the ridiculous property taxes at all. The one other huge expense that a lot of transplants don't realize is the water bill. Prices are ridiculous to begin with and on top of the bill many neighborhoods had to pay a fee for the MUD - Metropolitan Utility District - to pay off the bond that was issued to build the local water source.
