    What Kind Of American English Do You Speak??

    I found it strange that there was no "Redneck" English. I was 65 general, 35 Yankee, 5 upper midwest. I must say though that I had to use second and thrid choices for some of the questions as my normal deployment of wording was not available as an answer.

    Why I don't buy READY TO RUN stuff...

    At 46 years of age, I find the point of this thread interesting. Yes, we did play outside with our friends. Yes, we were gone from dawn to dusk. Yes, we made do with what we had for a number of things. Why? It is hard to compare yesterday to today. Computers and video games did not exist...
