    Oh shit another one! lol. I totally understand how landlines work, but thanks for trying to help. It still doesn’t really make sense in the context of a file download being interrupted though. Only the first person to pick up would be interrupting it

    Regardless, “moms” is absolutely a word. Y’all just don’t know/use it. I understand your logic, so there’s no need real to explain it. What’s amusing is the jump to believing it’s a whole other thing instead of just a nickname you don’t know/have yet to learn

    Like, I mean, some folks in the south (or east) call their grandparents meemaw. That was a new one for me. Not the exact same, but you get the idea

      Moms is definitely a thing. I can’t imagine living life and never hearing someone call their mother “moms”.

      My grandparents on my mom’s side were Mamaw and Papaw. On my dad’s side they were Grandma and Grandpa.
