In one of my earlier post (just after the SNACCA(er) and "wild California cousin" ) I said something about "not taking the bait" and Ed replied something about patience being a virtue.

Hi Kev,
Guess you havent heard of a Coonass?
(bergie, thats a real word in Texas and Louisiana, not a racial insult or slur)
How about a Canuck?
They are the Canadians who moved to Louisiana over two centuries ago, and mixed with the French and Indian settlers there.
They developed their own language, a mix of English, French, some Afrikan terms, and a lot of the local Indian words.
So, no one but a coonass can understand a coonass.
They slur all their words together.
And when they try to speak english, you need a translator.
You know they are trying to speak english, because you can reconize one or two words they are saying, but the rest?
You just guess at it!
I have a brother in law from the Cado Lake region, on the Texas Louisiana border that I havent understood a word he has said in 17 years.
There are several different dialects of Southren, there is Kentucky, Alabama, Floridaian, Louisiana( thats easy, stuff two cotton balls up your nose and say uh huh, yall and yup a lot) and the most intelligent one of all is of course Texan.
Four different styles of Texan are, Hill Country Texas,( sorta snobbish Kentucky), Gulf Coast Texan, (sounds like a cross between a coonass and a hillbilly,) East Texas Piney Woods, (coonass in english) and West Texas, which sounds like a TV actor doing a bad John Wayne.
So imitate all you want, after all, imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.
Yall stay Frosty, now, you hear?
Ed

heres a post striahgt from the BOSES desk!!

no really i'm using his computer... shhhhh!!

somehting's up with locomotive 1326.. it's broken and technitians are lookin at it right now! so seeing as i'm at the "Terminus" is that a valid word in English? that means it's the last station oin the line and it's all fancy with computers and offices..

If it ain't going, neither am I

One lifelong lesson taught by my dad when i was 15, although it never really applied to me but is good for all of the kids on this sight is,

"Never be rude to an adult, because they WILL end up being your future Girlfriends' parents"

I always thought that was a great lifelong lesson, because a few days i met my Girlfriend i met her mom at a grocery store (I didn't know it was here mom) the lady was buying 2 things and i had eight, she looked like she was ina rush, so i let her in front of me...

It's simple gestures like that that count in todays society...

anyways when i was introduced to the mom, who ithough was going to be a stick sticker-in-the-wheels, it ended up being the person i'd let in front of me!!

Boy was i relieved..
she said.. don't i know you?? your the boy thatw as so nice to me at the grocery store, i think you and my daughter will be fine!

thats the story of the day.. remeber the quote...

Damn the locomotive started.. i don't wint to ride in that.. what if it breaks down..

if y'all never see me agin, that darn-tootin lowkeymotive went out and stalled on me..

I'm not making fun! just imitataing.. so don't go ape crap crazy on me!

i like this computer.. okay going..

Dont they know sausage and gravy, with black ground pepper over hot biscuits is a food group by itself?
My oldest daughters first real meal as a child was white gravy over biscuits.
Wait a minute...these are the same people who put chocolate in their coffee, arnt they?

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]

Well good,
Glad you already have enough pride to do a better job than just whats required.
If more folks adopted such a attitude, quite a few jobs would stay here, in North America, than going south of the border.
Speaking of that, down here in Texas, spanish is a must for anyone looking for a job.
But high school spanish wont cut it any more, there is something like 23 different dialects of spanish spoken in Mexico, depending on where you are from in the country.
I am sure up there you face the same problem, depending on where you live, different styles of French are spoken.

But I was taught that you dont do the best job you can only because your employeer expects you to, you do the best you can because you want to!

Don't worry Ed. I know the value of taking a little bit of extra effort to do something well. That's why I stayed in French, despite the new teacher. It will definetly take more effort than before, but I'm going to do it anyway. After grade 7 you didn't have to take French any more and most people dropped out of it. Only 7 people out of a class of about 25 stayed in. The next year two more dropped out. One guy from a grade lower than me has been taking French with my class for the past 3 years because he's the only one out of a class of about 30 students that's taking French. Because so few people are taking French, grade 10, 11 and 12 French are put together in the same class. We learn the same things, but the higher grades have slightly longer tests. Right now they are a total of 7 students from grades 10-12 in French. Since Canada is officially a bilingual country, having taken French helps you a lot. Over here if you have high school French and are applying for a job, you're 99% more likely to get it than someone else with the exact same qualifications who doesn't have French.
