Hi Tarz:



Cute article, where did it come from? One other New Yorkism;

they distinguish between trash and garbage (trash is paper,

garbage is wet). I think it's bec they used to have to

separate it. In Israel, because so many people come from so

many countries, even grammer has picked up foreign parts. The

Hebrew Language Academy is always ranting about it, but they

can't change people, although they do have the right to ban

songs on the radio for bad vocabulary or grammer. And I mean

incorrect, not because of the meaning of the text!!



I'm going to be out for most of next week, so have a happy new

year and see you later.



Regards,

Jane
