The more a country "Bastardizes"..it's lineal heritage....the further away from it's core, it becomes!

hence: Community organizers, like "Bath House Barry"...zooms to the front, of simple minded people, like most Libr****ds....Eh Skippy?.....

Put those I******s, Afghans, Somalians, et al....in former Republican strong holds, & those "Freeby" leaches, with no personal integrity, will v**e as the rest of the numb minded Libr****ds!...{as long as the "freeby's", keep coming!}

Bad idea. Quick story. As you know, I'm a native Texan who has lived up in the Panhandle all my life speaking our language.
Years ago, when the kids were all little, a family from New Hampshire moved in down the road. Being good neighbors, we befriended them and tried to help them t***sition from city to country life.
We had a Herford bull calf out in the shed we were bottle feeding, and all the kids were playing with him, fed him a bottle and all that. This New Hampshire guy kept saying that a really nice heifer. I kept telling him that it was a bull calf till he finally spelled it out for me.

H EH F O AH D. in his dialect, the D was silent, so we had a bit of a problem communicating. We enjoyed them though.
He was an an accountant, and they moved to New Mexico where the language barrier is just as bad, or worse.
I'm a fan of different dialects myself.
There was a gal at the Arby's in Childress TX. who had the sweetest, smoky, sexy Texas accent, it was like listening to total erotica when ordering a Beef and Cheddar from her at the drive thru.

We don't have too many Icebacks here, but you ought to try talking to a Cajun sometime!!

Hey Arch, I grew up in the roughly the same area as you, Texas Panhandle, albeit a little North, Sunray to be exact. Love those southern accents. God bless Texas!! 😁😁😎😎👍

I've met people from Louisiana... Teaching English over here🤮🤮🤮

I'm all for dialects as well... But not in government offices or anywhere official...

I remember getting off a plane in Atlanta, asked a woman who worked in the airport where the next terminal was... She told me three times before I asked her to write it down... Couldn't understand a thing she said, but she wrote well...


All Louisianians aren’t Cajun and all Cajuns aren’t just from Louisiana. We live on the coast of Alabama and we can almost throw a rock across the Mississippi Sound and hit the coast of Mississippi. There are numerous Cajuns on the coast down here.

Their amazing accent and way of putting words together to form a sentence is musical and sometimes needs a t***slation! LOL. We have a couple that lives down the canal and the man and his son run a small business. They were doing some electrical repairs on our home and they were arguing……not in anger! They are just very passionate…….what ever they are doing. It was fun to watch and listen to them do their Dad and son thang!

And then there is that charming buttery Georgia Southern drawl…….thank you, thank you veeery much! 😌

I love the different accents and slang that make up America…..….North, South, East, and West! But, I believe that English should be declared our national language. sm24:

I'm very familiar with Sunray! Learned to drive an 18 wheeler there hauling corn from the field to the Co-op. A truly terrifying experience!
They've come a long way since then though! I think they have a Dairy Queen now!😂

One f**g, one language, one culture. Anything else is is self destructive. If you want to be an American, speak the language, salute the f**g, celebrate the history and holidays. Otherwise, go back to where you came from.

I didn't know that... I have always been under the impression that Cajuns were contained to Louisiana...

I'm of the same opinion...A national language is a neccesity... One need only look to the division between Canadians and Quebecois to see that multiple languages brings about division...

That is an ignorant statement. People who come here should learn the language. Its a sign of respect among other things.

That would make you a 49 model then. Means you're made of good ole American steel!!
Just keep your carburetor clean, your points adjusted, your suspension greased, and you're good to go!!😂😂
Don't forget the patch kit for your inner tubes as well.

A typical respose from a minor ESL teacher in China.

Logic and linguistics have a very little in common, unless you can understand, CD.

By the Christmas time this year Taiwan will be incorporated, I predict.
