Ye sure are speakin' Italian--comes from ever erlier Latin, too. The sho' nuff say it a lot in Carmina Burana! Mister Mario, my grandpa & grandma (Lord rest ther souls) both talked Italian--their mas and pas came over from the old country to Philly 'round the turn o' the century. Nunna the younger generations spake it though--too bad. All we got is some old Italian sayins and words--like "cuicco." Durn--I went'n spelled it wrong up thar!
