Oh Queen of the Missing Shift Key (or is it that it was just stolen by
Irene, and then lost?):

Pls. note  that the deaf wonder was reared thereabouts, up'n northwest Ohio
to be precisely specific, and I'm quite familiar with how it is pronounced,
inasmuch as I am a southern-gentleman-in-training, forced to continually
deny that I am a Yankee, always being precisely specific to note that I am
from the midwest (sorry, apologies in advance to the majority of B-P).  Now
my father, from da Bronx, dat's annudder madder.
