<So as I thought, you dont have any examples other than the ones provided above. >

<The reason I used "Beth" was because I was seriously interested in your post about word stealing.>

No, you were seriously upset at being accused of stealing and of being uncreative. Face it, your standard language use limits you. Go bidialectal! Much more fun, creative and gets you lots of interesting friends.

Somehow you and honest dialogue just don't ring true.
