Profstokes post about the anagram analyzer reminded me of a site I had bookmarked called "The Dialectizer"...You can enter your text and have it converted into redneck, jive, cockney, elmer fudd, swedish chef, moron, pig latin or hacker. I wondered how DS would translate into redneck (since I am from redneck country, KY...lol) So the following is a sampling- I took a portion of Scout's "the summer of Barnabas" and converted it.. so here it is:
(Barnabas is wo'n an' wary as he makes his way through th' front dore; he is annoyed t'see ADAM makin' hisse'f at home, playin' solitaire.)
ADAM: Howdy, Barnabas...
BARNABAS: Fo' God's sake, Adam, dawgone it...whut does yer hankerin' fum me now?! Fry mah hide! A pony?! Fry mah hide!
ADAM: It is a mate thet ah's hankerin' fum yo', Barnabas...but a pony'd be nice...
BARNABAS (annoyed): Wal, yo' kin haf one o' t'other, Adam, dawgone it. A mate o' a pony.
ADAM: But Adam be hankerin' both! Fry mah hide! [/color]
Now they're speaking my language! lol
