And you'll be glad to note that Yooper has been added to AHD4.
I wonder who's responsible for that!

This month's issue of Harper's has an article about a
small town on Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and the effect
on it of a big movie shoot coming to town. The word
"Yooper" is discussed.

Thought he'd be interested, at least....
