Subject: het/heated



    In response to a posting a while back by Jeutonne Brewer re her

mother-in-law's use of <het> as the past tense of <heat, vb> (clearly different

from the Pennsylvania usage of <het in the present tense reported by Molly

Dickmeyer), I recall what seemingly was once a common South Midland (and

Southern?) expression "Don't get all het [=heated] up about it." I don't

know if this was included in the LAGS survey. Clearly we've lost a good

strong verb form.
