I can see why you’ve read it that way, but I’m quite sure they’re saying that some people say a word slightly differently in another part of the USA and they’re joking that it makes them angry.
It’s a minor niggle I was joking about with hyperbole, but it does bother me a bit because ‘when’ means a specific time and ‘whenever’ means any of multiple times. Their meaning isn’t interchangeable.
Like: ‘I talked to my dad when he was in town’ means I talked with him that last time he was in town, but ‘I talked to my dad whenever he was in town’ means any or all the times he was in town – it might have been a hundred times or two, I can’t tell, but not the one time like the other more accurate sentence.
It doesn’t make me mad, but it very briefly ruffles my feathers. (e: and then I move right on)
People say ‘whenever’ instead of ‘when’ and I want to clock them for it.
Except the guy you’re responding said ‘everywhere’
Thanks for sharing though.

Oh I get it. The way it was written makes it a strange non sequitur.
Indeed!
Yes, this, thank you. Sorry, my jokes sometimes come off too aggressive online. I’m trying to work on that.
I think the commenter might have been talking about Americans in general.
So they take the opportunity whenever they can?
I just like to make stupid posts, sorry.
I’m right with you haha.
I thought about it and I say “whenever” pretty often.
It’s a weird thing to bother someone so much.
Whenever I think about the silly little things that bother people, I’m all, “Whatever could there reason be?”
But four a real problem, like one that should bug someone! I used to could go through a day without pain. I reckon I’m done got old.
Wander how the commenter wood fill about that. To much little stuff bothers folks. Shood worry about big thangs.
