Feedback: Fairplayer takes issue with good Burton Ridge word


re: "A new issue raised, Start, end of Burton Ridge"
But may have confessed to shortcomings of Yellow Hammer education as compared to that of the man educated at Hopkins University

To the editor, CM

Was enjoying your article on the debate regarding the geographic boundaries of Burton Ridge until near the end when you use the words,"internecine warfare." They didn't teach us words like that at Yellow Hammer so I looked it up.



I'm still not really sure what it means but I think it has something to do with feuding. Must be just another example of you city boys wanting to show off by using big words.There never was any internecine warfare at Fairplay, or if there was, it was called something else.

s/Dave Rosenbaum
"Touch!" as they say in Paris. Or is it "touchey?" Never knew how to pronounce those French words, either. Nor what "internecine" means, but it sounded heavy, like what a person educated at Hopkins University at Christine would have said. Sorry about that.-Ed
