Interesting huh?

That does seem odd, Tom, because French is spoken all over the world
with different dialectics. Like French Guiana and Paraguay in South
America and as you well know, with various blends in SE Asia.

I wondr how much "country french" he was looking for?

Country as in rural areas fudge brain. Â*:)

Tom, I can barely type and you want me to digest all that?

Most languages have variations of this.
Original speakers of a language are isolated by geography, and as the
language moves on elsewhere, they don't.
Probably in a hundred years they'll be studying the people of
Collinsville to figure out what the word "grits" means.

True, but not in codified form. Standard French is intentionally kept
static to protect it's "linguistic purity and clarity" - essentially,
much like Latin in that it's fairly well set in stone.

Most languages adopt, adapt and/or otherwise include words and phrases
- in that sense you are right.

Original speakers of a language are isolated by geography, and as the
language moves on elsewhere, they don't.

Also true, but I read somewhere that "original" languages are becoming
more and more rare. There is an effort to retain and teach these
languages or at least preserve them.

Probably in a hundred years they'll be studying the people of
Collinsville to figure out what the word "grits" means.

Or Maryland to figure out what Paste Eater means.

OK, but the Germans still make the best bread in Europe.

No way. The Italians do.
Speaking of bread, who makes the best 9mm pistol under $1000?

In my opinion? Two come to mind, both I've used, one I own.

Taurus PT911 - I did some target shooting with this one at the Rod and
Gun club a couple of months back. I like it - has a really nice feel
to it and seems to be a good general purpose weapon.

FN Herstal FNP-9: This one I own and I like it a lot. Has a very
nice feel to it and because I have large hands, the ability to swap
out the back stop was handy. When I sold my two Glocks, the local
gunsmith recommended this one. It's a good choice for carry purposes
as it fits really nicely into my tuck holster.

Speaking of 9mm pistols, who makes the best commercial hot dog?

I wouldn't say the best, but you can pick up a surplus Czech CZ-82 in
9mm Makarov for about $180. 12+1 capacity, accurate, easily stripped
and cleaned, and reliable. You can pick up 500 rds of ammo for a
little more than $200. Hard to go wrong.

Gun Tests sez:

Taurus Millennium PT111, $367, and PT911, $508. Don’t Buy.

FNP-9 Gun Tests gave it a C- for its ammo handling problems and lousy
trigger.

Apparently Tom prefers the eTec model pistols.

There are a number of very good 9mm pistols out there. Taurus never
comes to mind and FN's are second to third rate, and overpriced, too.


Glock makes a selection of 9 mm, and if you don't want a thumb safety,
they're pretty damned good. Springfield's XD's are very good, as are
SIGs, and CZ's.

Why buy a CZ 82 with its inferior Soviet Makarov cartridge when most of
the world prefers 9 mm Luger?

If you want a plain ordinary CZ in 9 mm, get a 75 B in one of the many
variants CZ offers. Far, far superior to the old 82, or the FN's or
Taurus Mr. Science recommends.

Boars Head of course.

I will put the FNP9 on my list to investigate. A quick read says it has
a good trigger, SA DA, Decocker, Hi Cap magazines. Good to carry but not
so good on the range for distance beyond 7 meteres.

My youngest had one of those - didn't like it. Does not mean that
it's a lousy gun though - he just didn't like it. He is into hand
guns though so I trust his opinion. Other's seem to like it.

and Sig 26

Just me talking here, but I think Sig as a manufacturer is highly over
rated.

Take it for what you will.
