I will often see something like "I done the work an I want 2 know why I aint got paid yet? Please replie AZAP." Perhaps the customer couldn't decipher the last bill he sent to them? An employee applied for an electrical department position. Filling out his papers, late one night I found the guy under the control center desk - figuring out wire colors. Oh, he worked on submarines in the Navy. Even go the job. My all time favorite report was a "Incident Report". Officer charged a prisoner with Insolence and Refusing an Order. Body of Report: "I telled him not to do did it but he do dit anywho" I'll never forget that one as long as I live. Yes, it was a real report in Florida. It's so funny when you try to correct their English. They may yell, "Y'all noe wut eye meen!"[sic] TDD At the job site we had a Secretary. All reports crossed her desk as she had the only typing machine. - Bummminham: The biggest city in Alabama. "You can travel cross this entire land, they ain't no place like Bummminham." - Caint: Cannot. "Ah just caint understand why this checkbook won't balance." - Et: To have eaten. "You done et.?" Growing up in The South the way I have gives me a great perspective on Southern regional dialects. Most people don't realize that there are numerous Southern accents. I am fluent in most of the dialects. Half my relatives are Damn Yankees so I have to communicate with them too. I had to learn Yankbonics too. TDD A local Vegas girl went back to Georgia with my friend "Bubba". When they came back after two weeks, I asked her what she thought (implying culture shock)? "I didn't know you could make (speak) a whole sentence in curse words!", she said. She was exposed to the finer things in life :-/ |

You'll never make a living as a mind reader. If this (below)
is typical of your mind reading skills, you'll starve in a week. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "David Nebenzahl" wrote in message .com... On 1/27/2010 4:20 AM Stormin Mormon spake thus: I would guess Yankbonics is northern black dialect? That provides whole different directions. What happens when a bunch of Michigan Detroit blacks visit NAACP meeting in Georgia? They walk around telling each other "Y'all talk funny"? You'd be guessing wrong, and it shows your inherent racism. But that comes with the territory, I guess, being a Mormon and all. -- You were wrong, and I'm man enough to admit it. - a Usenet "apology" |
