I already had to tell my boss that I had pledged to have a good attitude today and he was TRYING MY PATIENCE! ha! I'm still doing okay though.

I should be working on my attitude, but it's haaaaard.
Jesse, I will skew your hypothesis by saying "a split". "The splits" is weird.
OK, how about: "the splits" is the Midwest, "a split" is elsewhere?

Ah, it all makes sense now.
