- Maryland already had a law on the books STRONGER than FOCA. What was
- the point of putting the public through a referendum?

- Heck, Scott Safier has a real weakness where conditional clauses are
- concerned.
-
- I spent four years in Pittsburgh, and very few people near CMU said
- you'uns. But they are not your typical Western Pennsylvanians.
- In the high schools in the smaller cities, it is a different story,
- though even there, the people who say you'uns regularly are decidedly
- in the minority.
-
- Western Pa. has more in common with W. Va. and eastern Kentucky
- than it does with eastern Pa.
-
- Down here, most people on campus do not say "y'all". But when I went
- to watch a high school girls' basketball game in Sumter, SC, I not only
- heard a fair number of y'all's, but one little girl turned around and
- asked me, "Are you a Yankee?"
