That’s the last lesson you have to learn before becoming fluent in English, especially American English. If you put a Cajun, a Yankee, a Brit and an Australian in the same room, despite all four of them allegedly speaking the same language you’ll be lucky to communicate more than a sentence or two between the lot of them.
There are certain rules to be followed in English but a solid 45% or more of our “rules” are more like “subtext” and can be freely ignored, changed, or customized based on location and current company.

English more than any other is a patchwork language. We didn’t invent shit, merely reappropriated other people’s words in true classic English fashion.
