I live in California and....

1. If I made over $250,000 I would have several houses and and at least one apartment complex. Housing is expensive but I know couples that make under $100,000 combined who own a house.

2. I don't have a clue about the highschool football situation, but sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between crazy people walking down the street yelling at invisible people and people walking down the street having a conversation on their cell with their hands-free setup.

3. I've never had a commute that involved any gridlocked traffic. Currently my commute is 10 minutes, at the last job the fastest part was when the BART train got up to speed under the bay from Oakland to San Francisco.

4. I do know how to eat an artichoke.

5. The only time I've had a rented car is when someone wrecked into me and totaled my car. I didn't have to pay for it.

I still think the list could be accurate if it was specific to LA :)

3. You have had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" on the same day.
4. You end sentences with a preposition: "Where's my coat at?"

I used to live in Ohio and remember 3 vividly.

I'm still working on breaking myself from 4 but it's been a long road across :D

and proposition doesn't have to be a marriage proposal. Could be propositioning someone for some sex.

i had the idea that proposition did not exist in english, and that the appropiate term was proposal :confuse3:

They are but "proposition" is usually not used for marriage. Proposition is more...I dunno, let me think.

in spanish proposition is used to establish a petition, desire, situation or negotiation about something. I assume is the same in english.

In terms of relations with a person "proposal" i woudl use fo rmarriage and "proposition" for something purely sexual

I always seem to look at "proposition" as something that isn't quite 100% "accepted" or something that might be a bit sketchy or something
