People always do seem to speak funny if you're not familiar with the
lingo but methinks, in fact, you are quite familiar with the Ten
Commandments and their lingual style...as demonstrated in the
following FAQ which you authored:


============================================================================


   -------The ASCII ART FAQ Ten Commandments.---------

    ______/(    >(__                     Signature from any ASCII ART.

As for Jonathon Oglesbee's dialect that is evidently home-spun
American style folksy language quite unrelated to the language of
the Old Testament.


If you happen to visit some of the Counties of Northern England,
when people have listened to you several times someone will
probably smile and remark   " Eeee, dun't 'e talk funny? "  :-)
