"So what is "bidness"? Business?" Yep. That's the way my father pronounces it. Texans born before the early 1950's tend to pronounce it that way, not so much afterwards. There are also a lot of regional variations. As TP notes, Bush doesn't talk like someone from Midland, which would be different than, say Beaumont. I haven't been to Midland, so I have to take his word for it. I find it a bit amazing that there are regional differences. Usually, when there is a difference, its usually between a particular city and the rest of the state, and not between different regions. For an example, New Orleans vs the rest of LA or NYC vs. upstate NY. You Texans are a creative bunch, aren't you? <g> ted
