I was just watching the morning TV news, and a lady who was being interviewed about the potential closing of the library in Braddock (I believe), told the reporter, "We need our LIBERRY." Well, at the very least, a dictionary would be helpful.

Could it have just been the dialect,/ jargon of Braddock people,Brant? you know, like President Kennedy always pronounced Cuba as "Cuber", ,
"Lieberry" "Warsh Machine", "mushball,is a softball" "Dinge is a dent in a car" " No brakes on a bike,etc, you "spragg" like hell to stop" "Kindergarden" etc. are all a part of our Pa. speech patterns.

I'm guessing we'll survive. It's cool to be able to post in the "future."
