   If this instance is what we may come to expect from you, Andrew Simone with your new tools, we will expect many more instances. Beautifully delivered. And yes, profound.

   It is what I am striving for, Rick, but I don’t do this one, unfortunately. I am working on a little ditty right now for you folks, a thank you for the support whether it be financially or spiritually. You’ll see it soon, I hope.

   I’ll be looking for it, y’hear?

   This man is profoundly Canadian.

   Sorry, Amanda Mae, but that is the wrong accent. He is most definitely a New Yorker.

   He said “Sohawr.” in stead of “saw.” That rings eastern Canadian to me.

   And in Massachusettesease, an “uh” sound at the end of a word becomes “er.” Americker for America. And an “er” sound becomes “uh.” Chowduh for chowder. In Arkansas it’s backwards…or, at least, different. If a word ends in an “ee” sound, it becomes “uh.” If the word ends in an “uh” sound, it becomes “ee.” A sentence to demonstrate:

   Naomuh and Winonee Judd drahve To-yotees.

   To take this one more step in the Arkansan stance, if a word ends in an “O” sound, it becomes “er.” Piller, wind-er, etc. At least among my people.
   (Pardon the hyphen in wind-er, without it, on the page, it becomes winder which is a completely different word.)
