1. Carters solar panels were a boondoggle waste of money, only powering some "water heaters". For the cost, it was a huge waste.
And removing them wasn't a waste at all. Gotcha. Makes perfect sense.
2. Lie lie lie..... as usual. The panels were removed in 1986 entirely because the roof needed to be redone, and the panels were considered usless.
You’re totally right. Me saying he “order[ed]” their removal after being elected in 1981 is the exact same thing as me saying they were removed in 1981.
Silly me, and my substandard English skills.
Learn English.
I’ll do my best. I’ll add this to my to-do list (along with my need to yield to your superior understanding of exercise and nutrition).
I appreciate you being patient with me. For reasons unknown, God didn't see fit to make me a savant autodidact.

Ceement for cement. Ceegar for cigar. Aa Rab for arab. Thee Ator for theater. Veet Naam for Vietnam. Injun for Indian. It's an endless list.
Yes, those are fun. Emphasizing the first syllable is mostly a Southern tendency, but done elsewhere in the US as well. Two of my personal favorites are DE-troit and IN-surance.
But I also really enjoy words such as "eejit" from the UK.

I fear you may be right. Your grandfather was well known for his tongue-tied and monosyllabic manner of speaking (not to mention his sad inability to recall and recite details).
We can always blame Six and Visey.

There was a lane in my home town in England named Belvoir. It was, of course, called Beaver Street.

Well, of course. Once I learned that Worcester and Gloucester are pronounced "wooster" and "gloster," nothing much surprised me anymore. Although I was thrown for a moment by the cast pronouncing Jacques as "Jay-queeze" in Shakespeare's As You Like It.

That's the problem with the French. They just don't how to pronounce their own language.

My GF was born in Tennessee, and grew up in Florida. Pretty much any word that starts with an "i" gets a hard "e" instead. I always assumed it was because growing up in Florida, she was around a large Hispanic population.
Ee-gloo. Ee-lligal. Ee-migrant.
Regardless of where the habit comes from, it still provides entertainment poking fun at her.
