Re: Mailing lists

Gang: -snip- International food fight. You guys are a hoot. It's interesting to see how your minds wander about (or aboot). I used to have a theory that intelligence was inversely proportional to latitude. To prove my point, I would direct people to observe the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where phrases like "Say ya to da UP, eh?" were common. When confronted with an discerning opinion, I would add even more evidence by telling them to look further north where pronunciation of "about" and "a boot" merged -- and thus that would usually win my argument. Now, that I am confronted with such a wide latitude (in both meanings) of diverse opinion, I must conclude that intelligence and ignorance are both amply distributed all over the globe irrespective of one's shortcomings in language skills -- thank God.
