Thanks, Michael. No price on the dictionary at the University website?<br>
I'm not very good at surfing, so I may just be missing something.<br>
<br>
Cackleberry is about to enter British English because I'm not going to<br>
be able to resist using it :)<br>
<br>
Do you think any modern Appalachian might try writing the Jack Tales<br>
more authentically? They're great stories but even from this side of the<br>
water it's obvious that the language is only a flavour of the real<br>
thing.<br>
