agree on whether he was incy wincy or itsy bitsy.

I actually once read that in merry olde England that ask was sometimes
pronounced axe . After much googling last night I just found the reference
this a.m. Here it is !!

And, yes, I agree...a plain old-fashioned thank you is often missing.
The other day a young gal waited on me.....no thank you...nada....and I'd
just spent over $ 200.00... Mary

Or aks instead of ask? But what
about the plain old fashioned forgetting to say please and thank you????
Drives me nuts. mmm-hmmm, it does.

Jeanne asked did you call and tell them?
No, Jeanne, I didn't. Nobody is functioning at normal speed - whatever
that was. I saw some *manger's* specials at the grocery today. We'll get
better, it will just take a while. Meanwhile, we just laugh and cry and
keep scooping up mud. Polly


Specials for people who eat?

DD's french teacher scared her the other day.

The teacher was helping her out with a bit of grammer, and DD said
"Nicht grokken das." That is a bit of our "house spracht", and the
teacher recognized the parts. According to DD, the woman was near to
jumping for joy and explaining the bits of german and martian and how
they were put together. Then she showed what a completely fabulous
teacher she is by sitting down and using it to explain to DD the bit
she was having trouble with.
Why did it scare DD? "Mooom! My french teacher speaks martian!"

What does it have to do with spelling?
Absolutely nothing.
It is just that the manger thing made me think of french.

who can usually spell things like antidisestablishmentarianism
correctly, but has trouble with drop the e and add what ever it is
kind of stuff.

Whether I get a "thank you" or not, I always say "You're welcome". Serves a
purpose in either case!

I have only ever heard of Incy Wincy.
DH was born in NSW too but moved to SA when he was about 2. DM was born
in Tassie ( with a long family history there) and DDad was born in SA
with a long history there.

I am bothered by hearing nu-cu-lar instead of nu-cle-ar and re-la-tor

Well, maybe your darling had not had his morning java yet! Just
today I wrote a note to the painter, and about the 'sutter' color
and I gave him my 'celle' phone number!! Luckily I noticed as I
was sticking the note to the paint can and corrected. It was
early, I was in need of coffee, and I was in a hurry. That's my
story and I'm sticking to it!
