Or possibly a love song to Dracula's love-interest.


If it's "You're so vane ..." then it's about a would-be windpower tycoon (typhoon? - No, I'm sure it's a tycoon.)


Or if it's "You're so vine ... " then it's about someone trying to corner to wine market.


Or if it's "You're so vin ... " then it's about someone trying to corner to wine market in France.

In another forum, somebody posed the following question:

"I need to buy some equipment for my engineering work?"

If that person is unsure of his/her needs, how can anybody help him?

I made the conscious decision to post using my SoCal dialect. It's, like, totally easier than worrying about the Grammar Police.

BTW: The best linguists can read posts written by/listen to a random stranger and say where that random stranger has lived, their level of education and what they do for a living. Some can listen to random strangers in NYC and ID the speaker's neighborhood. It's quite impressive. Dialects reveal all sorts of interesting things.

I was in meetings last year with a Swede who has lived in South Carolina for the past ten years. It was interesting listening to him speak.

I love to hear the English talk (esp. old movies). They have a real grasp on the spoken word.
