It's good to hear that positive "any more" has made it as far

west as Salt Lake City. It's one of Michael Montgomery's key

features in tracing Appalachian English back to Ulster and

further back to Scotland. It supposedly has a Gaelic origin.

Despite that, none of my Belfast students know it at all!
