Considering correct response to: I don't care to do that Comments re article 42969 Local speech: What does I don't care to do that meanSharon Whitehurst writes: My admittedly limited experience with that phrase suggests that the person doesn't mind doing something for me. It does end up sounding a bit short of positive - maybe a reluctant/polite offer? Is there an etiquette involved here that demands a particular response? "Thank you for offering"--or maybe, "I wouldn't want you to go to any trouble." We in-comers need to know these finer points of behavior! -Sharon WhitehurstThanks.: This question is on a finer point than CM can answer. However, it does evoke a suggestion: While Columbia/Adair County has no formal Newcomers Club, it does have organizations in which Incomers predominate. You might consider joining the Adair County Garden Club, or Mr. Kolbenschlag's own Columbia Rotary Club. Both have a few natives, and neither discriminates against locals, and they do as much good work for the community as any civic organization. Assimilation would be a good topic for the Rotarians, and the Garden Clubbers discuss it informally all the time. Neither seems to encourage or even allow "Thesepeoplerism," a buyers' remorse phrase those smitten by Adair County as the Garden of Eden it is, only to move here and find it's like the place they didn't like they moved from, want to change Adair County into the place they came from, and began every reform effort with phrase "The way these people . . . - vote, practice religion, drive, build roads, farm, eat, exercise, read or don't read, raise their kids, handle dental care, talk, work, think, educate, entertain, walk, practice good manners, make a living, appreciate, act, or carry out any other function of life - and that's good. 'Thesepeoplerism' is highly frowned upon. That's another reason you, Sharon Whitehurst, are so appreciated. You never put the locals down. -EW. This story was posted on 2011-03-13 09:09:23
