I mean that in the most endearing way. <br /><br />I took a class once on modern linguistics that dealt with dialect, and why certain regions speak so differently than others. We talked language evolution and geographic influences... why deep south southern is different than Appalachian southern, for example. It was all fascinating.Jenny P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16632739365854048008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29222764.post-35277419730456764192009-08-05T16:12:56.621-07:002009-08-05T16:12:56.621-07:00Jordan, Tempting, but . . . actually, not even tem...Jordan, Tempting, but . . . actually, not even tempting.<br /><br />Blondie, Hahahahaaaa!Annette Lyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493583432919249814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29222764.post-26097279555779259262009-08-05T15:32:59.078-07:002009-08-05T15:32:59.078-07:00I had no idea!

They use the "p" sound when learning English and use their symbol that makes a "p" sound when writing English words with the "f" sound. <br />Thus I once saw a sign for a high end "FASHION boutique" that looked more like "PASSION boutique".Blondiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14402769870880880503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29222764.post-814777067282522192009-08-05T14:40:00.404-07:002009-08-05T14:40:00.404-07:00In Romanian, it looks like they kept the "p&q...In Romanian, it looks like they kept the "p" in most of those words, with the exception of fire (foc) and father (tata).<br /><br />Fascinating post!
