When Teddy Kennedy paid a courtesy call on Ronald<br />

Reagan recently, he made only one Cabinet<br />

suggestion. Western surveillance satellites confirmed<br />

huge Soviet troop concentrations virtually encircling<br />

Poland.<br />

A fixed loan is set at a rate and this stays unchanged<br />

for a set number of years. A floating mortgage rate<br />

can go up or down according to economic trends.<br />

There is an important difference between a fixed and<br />

a floating home loan. A fixed loan is set at a rate and<br />

this stays unchanged for a set number of years. A<br />

floating mortgage rate can go up or down according<br />

to economic trends.


In front of the tiny pupil of the eye they put, on Mount Palomar, a great<br />

monocle 200 inches in diameter, and with it see 2000 times farther into the<br />

depths of space. Or they look through a small pair of lenses arranged as a<br />

microscope into a drop of water or blood, and magnify by as much as 2000<br />

diameters the living creatures there, many of which are among man’s most<br />

dangerous enemies. Or, if we want to see distant happenings on earth, they use<br />

some of the previously wasted electromagnetic waves to carry television<br />

images which they re-create as light by whipping tiny crystals on a screen<br />

with electrons in a vacuum. Or they can bring happenings of long ago and far<br />

away as colored motion pictures, by arranging silver atoms and colorabsorbing<br />

molecules to force light waves into the patterns of original reality.<br />

Or if we want to see into the center of a steel casting or the chest of an injured<br />

child, they send the information on a beam of penetrating short-wave X rays,<br />

and then convert it back into images we can see on a screen or photograph.<br />

SCIENTISTS HAVE LEARNED TO SUPPLEMENT THE SENSE OF<br />

SIGHT IN NUMEROUS WAYS. In front of the tiny pupil of the eye they put,<br />

on Mount Palomar, a great monocle 200 inches in diameter, and with it see<br />

2000 times farther into the depths of space. Or they look through a small pair<br />

of lenses arranged as a microscope into a drop of water or blood, and magnify<br />

by as much as 2000 diameters the living creatures there, many of which are<br />

among man’s most dangerous enemies. Or, if we want to see distant<br />

happenings on earth, they use some of the previously wasted electromagnetic<br />

waves to carry television images which they re-create as light by whipping<br />

tiny crystals on a screen with electrons in a vacuum. Or they can bring<br />

happenings of long ago and far away as colored motion pictures, by arranging<br />

silver atoms and color-absorbing molecules to force light waves into the<br />

patterns of original reality. Or if we want to see into the center of a steel<br />

casting or the chest of an injured child, they send the information on a beam of<br />

penetrating short-wave X rays, and then convert it back into images we can<br />

see on a screen or photograph. THUS ALMOST EVERY TYPE OF<br />

ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION YET DISCOVERED HAS BEEN<br />

USED TO EXTEND OUR SENSE OF SIGHT IN SOME WAY.<br />

-----George Harrison, “Faith and the Scientist”


Although Louisiana is one of the South Atlantic<br />

States, we do not "talk Southern." However, this<br />

claim requires a definition of what exactly is<br />

"Southern," i.e., what are the features of Southern<br />

American English (SAE) and what exactly is New<br />

Orleans English (NOE). Thus, this paper intends to<br />

explore NOE's similarities and differences with SAE,<br />

particularly concerning the use of the quintessential<br />

Southern second-person pronoun y'all. To begin, I<br />

will examine the aspects of SAE; summarize the<br />

conclusions made thus far about its hallmark feature<br />

y'all; and then shift my discussion to NOE and how<br />

y'all fits into its unique lexicon.
