Dippy...
We went to Long John Silvers for supper. I handed Goofy a fork while we were waiting for our food. Dippy says, "Don't poke nobody with it. It's sharp." I corrected him with, "Don't poke anyone." Dippy needed it explained why he couldn't say it the way he did. So I told him, "don't and nobody are both negative and you can't have a double negative in your sentence." To which he replied, and quite seriously, "But we're from Pennsylvania!"

So we don't know how to talk up here? What was he trying to say and technically your kids aren't from PA.
Dingy tried telling him that 'they're' not from there. He argued that he's half Pennsylvanian. He's weird. But, you have to admit, what he said IS said that way up there by many people. Your husband being one of them!
Why were you not an English teacher?
Wow, here are some grammatical anomolies for you... my word verification for the last post was "spordort". What kind of definition would that get?
