Kim C, seldom heard "warsh" in the south. It shows up in a lot of places. I catch myself warshing, which I could have obtained from either north of England or Irish grandparents on one side, but very doubtfully from Spanish and Am. Indian on the other. I am pretty sure that it came over from the north of England, but need someone from the UK to verify.

Noreen caught the barbeque, which is a common way of spelling it here (Canadian English, a year or two of compulsory French in the west which is soon lost or twisted into something that is wrong in both languages). A bit of attempted humor which went awry- oh, well. Has anyone brought up aw-ree yet?

Odd how many English ignore the Oxford dictionary; seemingly "neesh" is another example.
