Marilyn Silva reports that when she was teaching high school in NYC 25 years ago,

students THEN were reporting, "we don't talk like that -- that's the way country

folk talk!" Of course, there's always a mix in big cities between country and

city folk. And ... some people don't know objectively what they do. But ...

that's the report.
