The thing is Larry, all the rest of us have to learn a new language just to go to Charleston. :-) Now, that's not quite true! Geechees have to learn a new language just to go to the state capital. No wonder they don't think Charleston is part of South Carolina...hee hee. Tell you what, we'll start our own reality show. I'll put you in a car and drive you out to Rockville on the end of Wadmalaw Island, just south of The City. We'll set a time limit, say 3 weeks, and see if you can communicate in SC Coastal Gullah that you'd like to come back to town. Should be very interesting! I fix the church organs out on the outer islands for the United Methodists, African Methodist-Episcopal (AME) and Baptists. I already speak Gullah, Geechee and English. Why do I have to learn more languages?? If we'd had any sense, we'd have let the Gullah speakers take over secure communications in WW2, as well as the Navahos. The Germans would have stood no chance at all of reading our secure message traffic.................and noone would have needed a code book...(c; Larry W4CSC POWER is our friend! |
