Anyone can access an on-line dictionary...
Sorry I bothered. What do you mean by local usage? The usage of the
major newspapers in your city or state? The way guys talk in the back
room of Joe's Garage? School kids? Politicians? Hispanics talking
among themselves? For me, the usage on CNN, in the national newspapers
(NYT, USA Today, WSJ, LA Times, Washington Post) is local usage. It's
the way we talk now. Or don't. I suspect that 'local usage' when not
pejorative, mostly mirrors what people hear in the media and in the
popular culture.
What's it like where you are?
