In Miami, people don’t “get” in line, they “make” the line (from the Spanish “hacer la fila”). They are not “very” tired, they are “super” tired (“Estar súper cansado”). And they don’t “get out” of their cars, they “get down” from their cars (“Bajarse del carro”).

It’s a form of what experts call Miami English. Now, thanks to a study published this spring, Miami — known for its beaches, basketball team, and stormy weather and politics — is finally getting recognition, and validation, for its unique use of the English language.
