Welcome, and God Bless you my Children.

I make sure that folks keep things clean around here, and KW makes sure that EVERYONE uses correct English, and Grammar.

Wanted to say hello to ya both from SWIowa.

There is a reason this is one of my top places to hang out!

You will find the guys(and few gals too) to be EXTREMELY supportive of about ANYTHING of a personal nature you care to share with the group.

Ask me about it sometime!

This IS a good place!!! As you will soon find out if you haven't been "lurking about" in here already.

And as you are from a certain part of the US I would wager a dollar that you are familiar with some type of Burbon. My personal is Scotch, but I do like a Rye made here in Iowa about 2.5 hours away. Templeton Rye it is called. Though I would love to try some Aquavit Sometime.

Grab that stump and join in around the campfire there is lots to talk on.

Heck, I thought you were doing just fine.

To all the English teachers out there: "I can't speak English very good either," but I write it very well. (get the pun?) Very Happy

I write legal environmental documents for a living, and most "laymen" (no pun intended- including “lawyers”) can't understand that either. ROFL

We sound a little bit different. Heck, I think we all talk with a different accent.

That reminds me of a story...I was talking to this East Indian guy and I used a couple of terms that confused him. I used the term "little bit" when asking a co-worker to move something. He gave me a funny look and asked me what "little bit" meant. When I told him, he was amused. He told me that in India, to convey the same thing, they would say "small amount."

He once asked me where there was a gas station; I told him "over yonder." He gave me a funny look and said "what's a yonder."

I was working with a "blond" one day when I told her that I felt null and void (meaning really tired). She looked at me really funny and said "what's nullnvoid?" I told her "well, first of all, it's two words."

All true stories!

Y'all have a great day!

Cary, we all use terms that seem to be somewhere between unusual and totally alien.

A term that you hear to describe a small amount over here in Oz is a "poofteenth"...meaning just a wee tiny bit. There are some others, but this isn't the forum to make mention of them. Very Happy

Cheers, Vince
