Interesting thing I learnt was that people in Pittsburgh made up a word unique to their area. Now how does someone in Spain know about "yinz"?
Probably because it's also used in Ulster.

Yinz is the most recent derivation from the original Scots-Irish form you ones or yous ones, a form of the second-person plural that is commonly heard in parts of Ulster. In the first- and third-person, standard English speakers use distinct pronouns to denote singular and plural.

Research :D
Since I wanted Kate to use Pittsburgh slang, and I read it's very localized in that area, I researched about it. I had doubts about how to use it, and then the community came to the rescue. There is a subscriber who is from the Pittsburgh area and we talked a lot about Pittsburgh (most of it won't get in the game unfortunately). I sent him that sentence and asked him if my use of "yinz" was correct. He said it was right and it made it into the game.
He played the game yesterday and told me that even the Steelers-Browns banter would be right between Pittsburgh Kate and Cleveland Kim.

Probably because it's also used in Ulster.

I didn't know about it. I read that Pittsburgh's slang has to do with the composition of its population (Irish/German/Polish) but didn't know the specifics.
Thanks! I learned something new today!

On both, Eva's and Amanda's ages are wrong. They are 19. Emma in 19 too as of the last update.
Do Dominic and Daniel have wives? or daughters?

Yes, the turkey won't be the only thing getting stuffed.

Daniel and Dominic had girlfriends when the crash happened, but they didn't keep contact with the family. 18 years later (yes, I just noticed the patched version should read (18 years ago) instead of (16)), no one knows where they are.

At Thanksgiving almost every girl will be stuffed already for the players who want pregnancy.

I won't spoil Jamaal's swimsuit, but that sentence was written that way on purpose.

*Takes notes*

With that said, I wonder if turkey will be on the table on Thanksgiving...... or want of the girls. Pretty sure eating Martha and/or Norah with a side of Emma and/or Erika will be a good meal.

Just saying.:unsure::sneaky:

Trop is master researcher. He will research like crazy anything he puts in to the game. New words, new locations, new concepts, etc. I am constantly amazed how much he's puts into doing it. It'd be nice if some other devs did just half the research that he does.

Totally agree! He's very good at that. Also, the two times he included my town (Montréal) in the game, I was like that;
