[QUOTE="squeaky, post: 941688, member: 40666"] Well if they can teach Ebonics in California, than I vote for teaching Rhode Islandese here in the Northeast. I've got a Rhode Island Dictionary and a Rhode Island Handbook, we could teach it very well. [B]For example[/B]: A woman is in the mechanic shop in Rhode Island having her car looked at and the mechanic tells her "Well, lady, it's either your cobbarayta or your spock plugs" [B](Translation): [/B] Well, lady, it's either your carburetor or your spark plugs. There are many, many more examples where that came from. But, I will say that a regional dialect/accent is something totally different than a type of slang [B][I]"loosely"[/I][/B] based upon the English language. They don't teach you to say "Pahk the cah" in school here, it's just a dialect you pick up over the years. [/QUOTE]
