it truly is crazy that people treat TB like it's some old timey eradicated gothic disease consigned to the dark Victorian past, (not only did the Victorians romanticize it but people still do for some reason) and here I am like, my mother had it in the 2000s, she had to have a part of her lung taken out, it's unfortunately still a problem and does also have a latent form....

Older folk (my grandma did) where I live nearly always pronounce wash as warsh like warsh rag. I gotta warsh the clothes. I gotta warsh the dishes. Sometimes it sounds a bit like wersh too. I'm not letting this die out gonna integrate it into my vocabulary...
