No, no ill will intended at all, Azizi. If one listens to a lot of those old blues recordings from the 20's on, one hears the sort of patois that was used at the time by those singers, and I was simply evoking that type of thing. As you may know, I also enjoy doing posts sometime in Scottish-English dialect for the same reason. Languages, accents, and local forms of dialect have always fascinated me. I have an affection for all these different forms of speech, because it is part of our shared cultural heritage.

Another one that you'll see people using a lot here, of course, is the rural White or western or hillbilly kind of lingo, such as:

"Ah figgered yew were gonna show up, Black Bart...and Ah shore do hope yew reemembered to load them shootin' irons o' yourn...cos if'n yew didn't, Ah'm a-gonna be oh-bliged to jest shoot yew down in cold blood, lahk a dirty dog."
