Interesting is the use of "dawntawn"  in one post. One is very hard pressed
to find anyone speaking in that formerly common "Pittsburghese" form of
speech. I noticed this when I moved back and started checking out why the
corruption of certain words is no longer heard and found out, from a group
of people now between 30 and 50 years old, that the Pittsburgh Public
Schools actually mandated that students be taught the proper pronunciation
of the language. It apparently worked. I have heard only one person speak
Pittsburghese, out of hundreds of people I have had conversations with,
since April, 2013.

Oh yes, also for Fred.......what did you want me to delete without
reading?? I saw nothing in that short sentence that was life changing for
me. I will be the judge of what I read or delete.........thanks anyway.
