   Apparently is was *my* dialect.  ::oops!::   
      
   ...Which doesn't mean I can't keep it in and claim it to be as part of   
   the West Borstev dialect.  ::Bwahaha!::   
      
   (But if I do, it looks like I better keep careful watch not to end up   
   using it as part of any *other* fictional dialect. )

   Thanks for saying so!  I'm glad you had fun with it.   
      
   We're working on a cleaner version.  We had Rebbeca Friedman do an edit,   
   and now we're going through figuring out which of the mistakes she   
   caught are Batiya's and should stay in, and which are mine and should be   
   taken out.   :)
