Now y'all see here, I've been living in the Ozarks nigh on a buncha years, now. Y'uns jest don't know proper Inglish. 

Yur lingo sounds like the ol' pianer cranker down here what got kicked by a mule back in '47 and ain't been zactly right since. Actual, he's just a few teeth shy of a full keyboard, if'n you gits my drift. And he's a RPT, too! Yep, a Really Peculiar Tuner. But he growed up in the busines ever since his ma caught him out ahind the barn—he an his buddies was tippin' cows, had'm an offishul Cow Tilter he'd got from Whatthe Hale Piano Supply Company. She gave him such a whippen! Yep, jacked his butt a good'n! Well, he got so durned mad, he grabbed his daddy's hammer and took out after the family's ol' Ain't Lyon & Healy. His momma was a'yellin' "You watch yer temperament, young man!" But he went nuts, wrenched in a few Pythagorean commas and one Sophacles semicolon and ended up with a perfect Werckmeister III 7/8. Wull, after that, the boy just natural went bad. Here tell he'sa workin' out in Oreegon now, little place called Gales Crick, or someat like that. Sad, sad.

Nope, them’s half-brothers…no comparison.  Let me get a wheat-straw and pick my teeth, er, rather, tooth!
Joy!
