Hi Wisam,

Let's go for a hat dag", instead of hot dog.

I love the different accents and speech patterns in this wonderful language of ours. An English girl lived with my family for several years. She had that beautiful southern English speech which we associate with "standard" English of England, or the BBC. She thought it was hilarious how we drawled out the vowel sound in haaaaaht, while she used that very British sounding short "o" in "hot", which is again a different from from the flat "a" sound your Milwaukeans use.

Jack
