No wonder English is such a screwy language to learn if you weren't born into it.

PS. I just thought of another funny word: Wabbit. As in "ooo, I'm gonna get that wabbit"

If someone who lives in Michiagan is a Michigander should there not also be Michigeese and Michigoslins?

Merry Christmas from this Michigander, Mrs. Gander and the Michigoslings.

My aunt was a Michigander, a Saginawian in fact. She thought when she moved to Massachusettes it would be better but she discovered she'd become a Scituation.

Someone in a gorilla costume is inherantly funny.

They have someone in a gorilla costume who wanders around the Empire State Building.

It's quite cool.

well, if the word ONE has a ww sound, then why did TWO have the ooo sound that ONE should have. Does that make ANY sense at all????

I got one from my husband's family members...the word is "Yous"
They say "Do yous want to come over" or "Do yous know what you want?"
That kind of thing. I guess it's their you plural. I think it comes from St. Louis area, he grew up in Granite City, IL, which is on the other side of the river from St. L. I don't get it!

This reminds me of The Electric Company DVDs I've been watching. There's a great Robin Hood skit (with Bill Cosby and Morgan Freeman) where they argue about how Hood and Sherwood is to be pronounced.

I thought it was spelled "Youse". Maybe that's Pittsburg.
