Jack, I'm a transplanted New Yorker, where we tended to drop the rs from our pronunciation as in New Yawk (rhymes with hawk). I came to the state of Washington and here they put extra rs in (e.g., Warshington.) Regards, Paul

Regionalisms 3. When I was a kid, we vacationed once a year on the Delmarva Peninsula. I heard such things there, and then later in Baltimore where I went to college. My Saturday ritual was to walk to the Lexington Market, where I heard all manner of parochial diphthongs. So I gathered up my courage, walked to a meat counter, and requested a "pind of grind rind". No problem. Withoat batting an eyelash, the grandmotherly Marylander behind the counter measured me a pound of ground round.
