Yeah, I understand that the Swiss think of their language and culture as Americans or the Irish think think about the common language that separates them that they inherited from the English. how phonemes are voiced can vary a great deal according to one's regional dialect. On a visit to Ireland once I heard the locals boasting of a new place that had recently opened I heard them describe as "The Ramahdah". After some reflection, I realized they were saying "Ramada", the inn.                                                                  By the way, Joe Offer,                                                I seem to have lost my cookies. How may I be reinstated, if possible?
