Their son Josh is a sophmore at Minnesota and he actually had a close friend, Ole. Ya know! And the word now becomes this long nasal sounding two-syllable word. I thought only Southerners made one-syllable words into two or three.<BR/><BR/>Oh well, what do I know!!! But I can speak Wisconsin, Minnesotian or Geechee(Charleston,SC) as well as they can - well almost...some people say I have an ear. I know I have two !<BR/><BR/>Enjoyed the article...wow, Richard, you are a really big deal!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10642706.post-1156795735347519042006-08-28T15:08:00.000-05:002006-08-28T15:08:00.000-05:00That's neat! and funny too.That's neat! and funny too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10642706.post-1156793953473402562006-08-28T14:39:00.000-05:002006-08-28T14:39:00.000-05:00Now listen here, Richard...I may say, 'that's diff...Now listen here, Richard...I may say, 'that's different,' but only in the context of something being unlike something else. We Minnesotans might sound funny to you Texans, but Texans sound funny to us (except you guys who have not picked up the dialect - I'm so proud of you!). I'm very surprised you didn't incorporate the traditional Slavik favorite into your story: doings. Although 'doings' is listed in Merriam-Webster, I had never heard it used (even in New Prague) until I hooked up with this bunch. It seemed that there were always 'big doings' going on somewhere.<BR/> <BR/>Your story was great - thanks for sending a smile my way. Say hi to all!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
