We Is Literate



And we're dog lovers, too.  Good Jumpin' Jehoshaphat... "German Chepper?"  REALLY?  The mind boggles sometimes.  This Googler was from Texas, Gentle Reader, so it's not as if some ESL denizen of the Third World came around lookin' for cheppers.  

Wait.  It was El Paso.  

Never mind.

  1. I think if someone called my Niki-dog a 'chepper' she'd have to bite them! She's kind of sensitive that way.

  2. After living in McAllen, Toby and I would mispronounce all sorts of words - making fun of the locals, but then it became kind of normal - like saying, "Would you rub my cholders?" etc.

    Lou: I mispronounce a lot o' words on purpose. Same with misspellings, but you prolly noticed that.
