Digging through the junk draw

The junk draw? Don’t you mean drawer?? Well, yes, I do, but where I live (look at my blog name if you need a clue), many folk (yes, I said folk) took to sayin’ the word ‘draw’ for ‘drawer’ many years ago. I think it’s because of the influence of the dropped ‘ah’– that’s the letter ‘r’ for you folks from away. So, when Mainahs say ‘drawer’ it sounds more like ‘drahw’ and as generations have lived and died sayin’ ‘drahw,’ it has evolved into the word ‘draw,’ making folk believe that the proper spelling of ‘drawer’ is actually ‘draw.’

‘Tis logical, truly.

‘Tany rate, diggin’ through the junk draw, looking for somethin’ to talk ’bout t’day, and I came up with just ’bout nuthin’.
