it's not retarded - it's proper English

a freeway name is not just the word for a number, such as 5 or 10, but includes a designation I5 or I10, H101. Now if you said I5 when referring to the 5 freeway, it would be retarded to say 'the I5.'

I am well-traveled myself, although I've only ever lived in California, but nowhere else have I seen people referring to freeways using only the word for a number.

socal is the only area I've noticed people say "the" before highways...

it's a giveaway that you're from socal
like "hella" for a lot of bay area people
or "wicked" for east coast
"you know" for minnesota peeps


it's pretty funny how many stereotypes are very true
