See, this is TOTALLY the response I was expecting to get. I think I've just spent enough time out of the territory at this point that it's worn away a bit.
Interestingly, there's supposed to be a lot of PA Dutch accent around in the Lehigh Valley, but I could never figure out where or what it was. But this morning in church I noticed that some of the older women speaking sounded VERY MUCH like my grandmother and great-aunts out in mid-state, so I started wondering what the connection could be. Still don't know if it's PA Dutch, but it could be... after all, when those women were growing up, I bet a lot more of the Valley was still farm country.
