    Comb. Bomb. Tomb. Why must English be so difficult?

    I just googled “comb district” and got nothing useful.

    Go read some Uncle Remus, Little Black Sambo, and then the story of good old Daniel Webster.

    Then we’ll talk. >^..^<

    Back in the ‘70s, a Vancouver TV critic blasted a Texas setting show for phony accents. I wrote giving ten authentic Texas accents with a speaker sufficiently well-known in Canada as an illustration for each. They wouldn’t publish it.. I did admit that my Piney Woods East Texas example – Ladybird Johnson – was really a combination of Hill Country Texas and rural Alabama, but the sound was the same. The show was accurate for Wichita Falls to Quanah..pschearer: I would really need to hear it, but your transcription sounds north-east Texas. I once knew a fellow student who delighted in those around-the-room introductions with, “:Mah name is Takioshi Ahbay frum Kobee Jahpayn”. He had practiced English in Lufkin before enrolling. His regular English was much the same, but I think he thickened it a bit for the intros.

    I was always annoyed by Al Capp’s insistence on using “yo’” in place of “you”, as in “Yo’ must be…” . “You’re” or “your”, fine, but used in place of you? You must bout of yo’ mind.
