	Yes. It's amazing the amount of different accents there are. Gazillions of them. I guess it goes way way back to the language influences of those who invaded our country, and our ancestors who brought those accents down through the years to us. K

	Also some words we use round here are said to be of pitmatic origin. An example is : "Hoy a hammer hower here hinny" translates in english as: "Could you please pass me a hammer, my dear?"
