[PRCo] Language

[Phillip Clark Campbell]

Mr.Josephson,
Thank you for a good laugh.  The list has been far
too serious lately hasn't it.  Was it local language?
Pittsburgh is certainly known for its own version
of English.

Without  a   'coast'   but  not  a   'cause.'

Some of my grade school teachers would tell us
that when  a word begins with "wh", the "h" was silent.
Others would pronounce the "h" in front of the 
"w"..."Huh-wat, huh-wen, huh-wye....."
