Written by a resident - or should that be "citizen"? - of Saylorsburg,
PA. Naturally, I'm accustomed to *hearing* this spoken and sung in BE
and other Southern-English subdialects and in the relevant
eye-dialects. But this is the first time that I've come across it
seriously used in writing. And by a Northener, at that.
