[DIALECT HUMOR ALERT!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!]

Reminds me of the Old Southern Joke, usually told by an Old Southern Man:
'I was walkin' thru the town t'other day an' I saw a boy,

So this ol' southern gen'l'man was from Yorkshire?

I don't recall his geography being specified, Mr Maclean, but it most
certainly is possible that he spent time in the North American state of
Virginia, certainly.

(in order to repent for your provincial notions about dialect you might
wish to consider how certain aspects of Elisabethan English were still to
be found in areas of the Appalachian Mountains as recently as a
half-century back (dialects, in general, are fading due to the onslaught
of radio-/television-speak)... oh, I *cannot* resist...

.... a bit of isolation made it difficult, it seems, for even diligent
Americans to wash out that particular linguistic stain.... errrr, strain.
