Doesn't understand why more and more from off

Comments re article 41548: Nearly every Adair Countian is from off nowCharles Marshburn writes:
Being one of those "from off," I don't understand the lady's remark. -Charles Marshburn
Thanks. And the Adair County Assimilation urges any who don't understand, at first reading, what's mumbled in plain Adair County English. To explain: Since the old Adair Memorial Hospital closed, where some 600 babies were born each year, Adair County has not had its own maternity clinic. Babies are born to Adair County parents, elsewhere, in Glasgow, Somerset, Elizabethtown and other far off places, making Adair Countians strictly and technically speaking, natives of those distant lands. Of course it doesn't have to be. Ought not be. And should change, but it will take a much greater public involvement in hospital affairs, and greater concern for all health issues than Adair County seems yet ready to tackle. -EW
