When I travel through the 48 states by car, I am always struck by the different accents to be found in this great nation which is 'indivisible' except for the variations in speech.

Going from East to West' via the South, I find 'you guys' becomes "youse guys" which morphs into "y'all" and later to "you'uns" etc.

But the strangest speech of all is in the mid-west. When people hear my Boston accent they say, you must be from 'Mass-a-too-setts'.

"No", I reply. "I am from Mass-achoo-setts - the state that sounds like a sneeze! a-choo!"
