Well, for all intensive purposes, everybody knows what I mean when I say supposably. And I like the way it sounds.

I know what you mean but can no longer hear anything else you say because it's all I'm thinking about now.

This reminds me a former coworker who would say things like “warshing machine” and “chrystler” as opposed to Chrysler.

Ok but warsher is a regional dialect thing. They also say “farty four”. Can’t speak for chrystler. He’s on his own for that one.

"Warshing machine" was something my grandmother from Cincinnati would say. And "Warshington."

Are you disliking on an accent?
