As a native West Virginian, educated in the public schools and West Virginia University, it sounds like CarolC. is one of the carpetbaggers who think that because we don't talk like Fran Drescher, that we're 'barely able to speak the language.' Her disrespect is really offensive, but not unexpected. It's like the city person who moves to the country, and then becomes incensed (pardon the pun) when she learns that farms have animal smells associated with them.
