Backwards Speaking

January 5, 2024, at home

When did people start speaking backwards? It's strange to me. For example, it should be, "My wife and I went to the store" not "Me and my wife went to the store." However, I absolutely LOVE the backwards speaking of a New Yorker, maybe a Long Islander, or an Italian English-speaker, when they put the pronoun before the noun. For example: "She went to the store, my mother."

No Cake; Cake

November 26, 2024, at home I don't really like cake. Just give me a tub of frozen chocolate frosting and a teaspoon, and I will be happy...
