I'm just as bad in written communication...

I just wrote an e-mail to one of my best friends, whose son will turn 4 in a couple weeks. (Should that be couple OF weeks?)

Here's what I asked her:

"What does this child want for gifts?"

Wow, how Yorklike was that?

Joan,

How more York can you get? Conjuntions and the verb 'to be' are usually not used in daily speech. Think...The car needs fixed... Just to add a little from the European aspect, the same is true throughout most of the German speaking countries here in Central/Eatern Europe. Between Mundartzt (dialect) and the combination of long compound words (German is not such an easy language) verbs are informally shortened or omitted, primarily in speech. Just thought I would let you know.

I will try and chime in weekly, I guess one can say, I do really miss home, Toto we're not in York anymore.

My name is Joan and I'm a lifelong Yorker. Throughout high school and college, I swore I was getting out of here as soon as possible. Now, a few years later, I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be. I love my town. And, as a local editor, I hear every day how much you love your towns, too. So please, connect with me and let's share what makes life in York County great. I'm here to help you enjoy this place as much as I do!
