Asking CRC how to say something is like asking

truman capote how to say gaiter. Brilliant linguist (like CRC) but southern spoken. CRC is southern via sweden and finland. I have heard the oldenburg (saxony) folks call it bot where the o is like the english bot in robot with a slight u flavor to the o.
thanx,
bill

attempting to explain profiling doesn't require one to take a position for or against it any more than attempting to explain gravity requires one to be for or against gravity. Walter Williams
