No, but close. I live in Central Pennsylvania, & my ancestory is Scot-Irish. I also say hamburg not hamburger, red up not clean up, & restrant not restaurant (along with probably 100 other words differently). It's been pointed out to me many times before. Are you from Baltimore or otherwise of similar ancestory?

I do have a lot of history in the DelMarVa area.  Though I hang my hat in Austin, TX now. My grandparents and father put the R in "wash" and I've really only ever known it to be from that area. It's a peculiar thing but always interesting for an aspiring linguist or grammar nazi. Do you also pronounce "water" "wooter", by any chance? I do have some acquaintances from the Wilkes-Barre / Scranton area and do enjoy the idiom there. |

Yes I do, it's interesting to hear that I'm not the only apostaser of this Babylonian one-language agenda of the United Nations. Do you say "arn" or iron?

The Mormon missionaries were here yesterday bugging me & trying to brainwash me with the "apostasy of the prophets teachings" & the end of the world is coming etc., so if what I said doesn't make sense about Babylon & the United Nations, I'll articulate what I'm saying:
Yes I do as well, I'm glad that all different accents haven't yet died off due to the constant globalization going on. Do you say arn or iron?
I hope that's more clear.

There are some folks there that turn English into something we poor American schleps can't understand. Same could be said for certain folks in Appalachia I suppose... No, I do pronounce "iron" "eye-ern". In fact my accent and idiom is very mid-western. Except I don't say "pop" when I mean that fizzy drink. |

Design-wise, the Standing Liberty. Collection-wise, I have 1932-1998 Washingtons complete. My SLQ's number about 28 or 29. The ones remaining are a bit expensive.

In a cage match the Washington doesn't make it out of the first round.

As far as design goes SLQ are hands down over Washington's . but like most; my collection of SLQ's only consists of about 9 coins only because of hefty price. I do however have a decent collection of Washington's 1932-1964 .

I've not gotten my hands on a Standing Liberty yet, but it's without a doubt superior to the Washington. Honestly, I think it's the more American of the two. It is patron to Liberty itself rather than to only one President.
