    You can expect it all you like, but other dialects are going to dialect. I don’t personally see any difference between the example in the post and the examples I gave, possibly because I hear “be on board” as much as or more than “get on board” or “stay on board,” the same way I hear “be behind the wheel” more than “get behind the wheel” or any other variants. Thanks for the insight into a different dialect!

      Yeah, no worries!

      And it’s not something I’d point out in person, I’m just pointing it out here in response to someone else. My SO is not a native speaker, and I work with non-native speakers, and I live in a different part of the country than I grew up, so I’m definitely used to different dialects.
