Thanks. My wife, who is southern, used this particular post to give me a lecture that would not quit on the improper fashion that this and many other southern colloquialisms are misused by myself, her coworkers, and the rest of the greater San Francisco Bay Area. It did not help that I was under my Alpine at the time and she wouldn't help until she was completely finished, which was a _very_ long time. Did I say thanks? Thanks all ya'all. -Patrick ;-) SV Richmond (California)
