Re: CHAT: silly names, prepositions

Hmmm.  A course in American?  Can't say as I can lay my hands on one right
now.  I could teach you Texan, but you need to learn Nawthun to fit in up
there *g*.  How 'bout this, drop the "eh?" learn to say "huh?" and
differentiate between "a boot", "a boat" and "about" and we'll never notice!
  And If you move to North Dakota thay might not even notice you as is!

Oh, BTW, if BC is going to be our 52nd state, who gets to be 51st?????
