[Vision2020] Dueling Languages (was: Alaska vote count)

[Art Deco]

You give a very accurate description of many of the drivers on the twisty, winding highways/roads in Benewah County.  Don't believe me?  Take the Rose Lake Cutoff back to Moscow when coming from Kellogg, Wallace, or Montana on Interstate 90 sometime.

I wonder if there might be some connection between this free-for-all driving behavior and the subject discussed in the thread "Say What? (local and recent)."

  On average, those who traverse to the poem's end can separate spelt from 
  spilth, and are not so close to mean as to cling to the median and demand 
  their road portion from the center, leaving for other travelers gravel along 
  shoulders.

  One suspects body language would rank above literary language, with 
  undulations and ululations over perorations and machinations.
