Munc, I think I just translated your German. I did not know I could do that.

TOTVers from RI, thanks for clearing up that cabinet thing. And I love the little dictionary, Ronda. I want to add "wikkit" to my own dictionary.

That whole thing about what to order in the ice cream store is fun. I can just see a sign in an ice cream store in TV where everybody is from everywhere. The sign would have to be really big to list all the different words for a milkshake.

And in Boston, is frappe pronounced "frap" or "frap-ay"?

Another regional word: Across the river and farther south in Kentucky, you carry your groceries home from the store in a "poke" not a bag or a sack.
