Sounds like Garrison Keillor's version of Norwegian bachelor farmers. :-)

Around the mid-west, you hear gross mis-pronunciations like "Worsh" ,
or "Woish" instead of "wash". Aluminum, amazingly turns into "alumium",
Starter ie starter-motor, is now a "Storter" And a lot of people love
to grab a pole and "feesh"

Inch can be pronounced "heench" as in " a half a heench", and (I love
this one), I suppose that instead of saying "1/8th of a mile" it's so
much easier to say " a half a quarter..."

What does "get bit" mean - in English.


Same grammar book as "If I hadn't boughten that car, I'd have more
money
now".

So it's an Atlanta thing? I'm south of Kevin, but I'm not really in
The
South. I guess "fixin'" is a word, too.

It's an upstate NY thing, too. We have a large contingent of people who
were
born here, never left here, but have confederate flag stickers all over
their pickup trucks. They say "boughten", "crick" (instead of creek),
"acrost from my house", etc. Puttin' food by - there's another, instead
of
"canning". Puttin' food by where? By the dishes?
