Thinks?

[sofadoc]

I posted a few years ago about a customer that had just moved to town from New Jersey. The toughest transition for her was not using the "F" word in every sentence.

Anyway, she always said "Thinks" after every job (instead of "Thanks"). Well I got a card from her today. She is moving out of town, and just wanted to thank me for all the work that I've done for her. But the card actually said "Thinks".

I had always assumed that it was just the way that she pronounced the word. Much the same way that when us Texans say "awl", we're not talking about that sharp pointy thing that upholsterers use. We're talking about that bubblin' crude that came up from the ground one day while Jed was shootin' at some food. Or the way Bostonians don't feel it necessary to put an R on the end of words (You know, cah, bah, stah).

But no, turns out this woman was really "thinking" me.

Actually Bostonians have "The law of R conservation."

While certain words, "I pawked my caw in Havad yawd" loose the R, they show up in other words, "Ask Linder (Linda), she sawr (saw) the dater (data) on the drawring (drawing).

"intrusive-r , non-rhotive" dialect


People who constantly use profanity are just uncultured   #*)@#ers.

I also get a kick out people who rely on crutch words/phrases, know what I mean? Common on interviews of sports figures, but not limited to them, you know.  I had to stifle laughter a couple of weeks ago when talking to a guy whose every sentence would end with "and all that there."  I worked for a guy once who could not put together a sentence that did not include several "basically" "supposedly," and "I guess" thrown in.   I hate to think of how much time of my life I basically wasted. :-)
