Fascinating link, illustrating the Ethnic origin of all the Folks in the U.S.... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

What a mix.... :o...!!

Of great interest to me!....;)...!

It's surprising how few of my fellow (English-speaking) Englishmen live there, mostly grouped in Utah and Idaho!

Paul...Saved the Map in my Map Folder... ;)...!

Many thanks for the link..!

"We're going deer hunting" is the more common phrase here (at least from central NH to central-east VT). I don't recall being in Upper Michigan but, then, any hunting we would have done would have been for the building where we were to install our furniture or for the motel (usually booked by the company beforehand).
Of course, northern New England has its older dialectual attribututes -- but ya can't get thayah from heah.

No. Just a very long class that pounds (60) vocab words a week in my head...really helps when you have to read those classic books...though, other than that, I never use them in just regular talk...(I missed 5 or 6 on the "rice test" anyways.)
