Ya'll bitch about fellers like cuzzinmitch, but threads similiar draw such a LARGE response You know you love it. Gives everybody a chance to throw out their best one liners and slap the winner on the backside. Doesn't seem like anyone had difficulty reading his post, al least well enough to respond, no? I thought you all just skip over such drivel. What are you doing responding, and why so many responses? This is the first post I've read of cousin mitch, so I'm not defending or jumping him, just making a point. A ever so obvious point. dempsey

More obvious yet,is his going out of the way,to sound like an idiot an being taken aback because most don't cotton to it. <br> <br>I don't think anyone would even mutter a cross word,if he was in fact illiterate. Acting like you are,in a means to communicate to others,is not amongst the "best" of available approaches. In fact,I'd venture a guess that those closest to that dialects roots,might even take some offense. <br> <br>I don't talk(type) Southern,to try and impress gents who reside there. I don't talk(type) Canuck,to sway those boys either. Neither do I dabble in Ebonics,to impress our good friends from the PRK(grin). <br> <br>If one wishes to look like a turd in a punchbowl,the quickest remedy is to type in an asinine manor,that requires more effort and energy than the laid back language communicated by most folks who cruise this Forum. I could care less if a guy can't spell every word correctly,or make beautifully flowing sentences. I'd side with him,because I am very much in that same boat and understand it fully. <br> <br>The willingful butchery of one's own written text,is FAR from impressive in my humble opinion and certainly deserving of a couple "one liners". <br> <br>'Course YOUR mileage may vary..................(grin)

I guess some of this makes us look like a bunch of mean spirited SOB's, but the IQ of a fish? What the heck did a fish ever do to you? - Sheister

I have a lot of respect for fish. They are quiet and mind there own business. I regret I can't catch the darn things. Not smart enough I recon.

It certainly doesn't matter at this point, but I think cuzzinmitch is quite knowledgeable in certain areas and I have gained some knowledge from some of his posts. I don't know what set him off, but I am sorry it happened. And I will miss him. <br> <br>Man, you guys act like you've got a ramrod up your butt, what difference does it make if the guy posts in a dialect, if you don't like it, don't read it. I count his content and personal demeanor much more than his way of posting it. Which is why I don't like Muleskinner, has nothing to do with his style of writing.

Now watch it Dempsey! I actually LIKE tequilla (grin)! <br> <br>Tracks, that was a good one! "Fish" has a lot more character than "fence post." BTW, how is the beef?

Mitch, <br> <br>I haven't read posts where "the boys" were being disrespectful toward you, but challenging the manner by which you have chosen to post, "Ozarkian English". Some may find it hard to separate the "kernel" of value in your posts from the the "chafe" resulting from the difficult to read bastardized version of english that you choose to use. <br> <br>Since you have chosen to deliver your messages in a non-standard manner, you are getting the kind of push back reaction from many readers that you should have expected. Perhaps you would get a better reception if you posted interesting points that are clearly articulated in a language and manner that we all understand. <br> <br>No disrespect intended, but my MO neighbors, even the poorest and least educated, don't speak like you write. Perhaps it is as you have told me before, the difference between northern MO and southern MO. But even the farmers who work my ground in AR don't speak like you write, so I am a bit confused. <br> <br>I hope that you don't leave, but if you continue to participate in a non-standard manner, you should not be surprised by the response. <br> <br>Sincerely, <br> <br>Bearrr264

A stupid question from a Yankee boy. What's a "cotton to it". Being from PA, the only thing i associate with cotton is a nice fitting pair of jeans, on my wife of course:)
