The joke is "init" is supposed to be like "isn't it," correct?
If that's the case, I've heard people say "init" quite often in America too. -
mathzr3777y@jhh2450 Yeah.
Mostly I've heard Brits speak that way. Didn't know Americans do that too. -
@jhh2450
All of America doesn't speak that way. I have an online friend from Connecticut and family from New York. They never mentioned anyone speaking that way.
A classmate of mine went to Washington and and my othet classmate went both Florida and Texas. They also didn't mention anyone speaking that way.
Init is only used by the English. Not sure what part of the US you're from, but I'm 99% sure Americans either use isn't it or is it not.
Edit: Now I know where you're from. NC. -
@Michelle I'm aware of that. But you were implying none of us throughout the entire country speak like that... Which is false. I can name about a dozen states where I'd most likely hear people talking like this.
It's definitely part of dialect in more states than you realize. Just because your friends don't mention it or use it, doesn't mean it's not used. It's also not something you type. That's a verbal thing used.
