[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Mookie [/quote] Kevin - I live in the laid-back part of the country - we don't care whether the French like us or not. Or any one else for that matter. We have more important things to do - like read the forum and watch trains! But I still envy you being dual-language. I took 2 years of Latin and can't remember past "Amo" and Mica Mica Parva Stella - Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Maybe French would have been easier! Jen [/quote] We down South are dual-language too. I speak the King and Queen's English (Americanized of course) and Southern. Oh yes, Southern is a language all its own. Here are two examples: 1) We (or some of us) don't take someone home, we carry them home; and 2) when we are ready to do something it is fixin--I'm fixin to go. Just thought of another one. It is a combo of country and Southern--icebox--just put your drink in the icebox. My ex-roommate a Yankee tried really hard to break me of that one. Ha-Ha, he just couldn't win. You can take the boy out of the country but you can't take the country out of the boy. [:D]
