It aint 'alf cowd
Hey there, now I'm just gonna come straight out with this. I was reading this and I really enjoyed it but found one slight teeny weeny thing that I wasn't sure that I agreed with. You know you said "ow" as in "cow"? Well, my way they say "oa" as in "toad" even though it's written as "cowd". :-/ What d'you reckon? If I had no education and no experience of what the hell I was on about, I wouldn't put this comment up but to give you a background of me (so that I'm not just some plonker with a big gob), I actually study Modern Languages at Uni and am completely FASCINATED with the local dialect!! It's fantastic!!
The bit about duck is utter nonsense. The word will have nothing to do with "duke". The Anglo-Saxon word is the same as the Latin dux, so I don't know where the "unclear" comes from, but it's irrelevant anyway, and this should all be deleted.
