Rudy: Those of us who are REALLY northeasterners (e.g. north of Vermont)

don't think of New Yorkers as such. You'll be happy to know that I

at least keep the vl/vd contrast in your example, but then I've

been contaminated by living in the southwest and midwest. However,

I have not noticed it changing in southern Maine, at least, where

there would be minimal immigrant substratum effect. Bev Hartford
