    BTW, why do some people keep saying "prolly" instead of "probably"?
    The first time I ever saw that was when I was in Virginia...

    I just started saying it 'cause I never could type probably right fast enough xP it was like a break in the typing, and that's annoying so I started saying prolly, didn't know it was used anywhere tho...

    I rarely fully pronounce "probably"

    It's used in Missouri too, although its generally reserved for familiar speech. I wouldn't use it when talking to a customer or an enginer at another company. I use it when typing, again in familiar contexts, because it is easier than typing probably, which requires much more finger movement.

    I spell "probably" as "prolly" sometimes, but i never use it as a spoken word. I also write "tho" instead of "though" and "cos" instead of "because". Reason being: laziness.
