Now Zimmerman is Black via MSNBC

Just heard some black female say on MSNBC that the jury isn't of his peers because there are no blacks.Now we will in invoke the bi-racial card! Since the moment the trigger was pulled as far as MSNBC and all the guests were concerned Z's bi racial make up was a mute point. Now he's got some black in him…Got to Love It

One thing most people on this thread have missed is the phrase "freeman". This did apply to nobles but it also applied to any free man. So if you were a yeoman or a craftsman or anybody but a bound serf you had the right to a jury trial.

This was pretty much unique in human history.

The pronunciation of “route” is largely regional as with other words having differing pronunciations.

Even within a region, that word varies with context. I summon my memories of my Western Pennsylvania yute where a white man's form of eubonics known as Pittsburghese is uttered. It's a dialect that follows no known rules aside from consistently being inconsistent. :-)

As for "route", take the case of US Rt. 19. variously known as Perry Highway, McKnight Road or Warshington [sic] Road. It was universally called "Raut Nineteen" by everyone I knew, friends, foes, family, colleagues and television announcers. In contrast, Saw Mill Run Boulevard or PA Rt. 51 was referred to as "Root Fifty-One".

I've called upon a couple of 'Burghers (and those with some ties, even tenuous, to the area) to confirm or deny the correctness of my recollections since I've been gone from the tri-state for over four decades. My memory may be slippy 'n'at. Yoi!

Thank you! It's so good to hear from one of my all-time favorite FReepers. (And it's not just because you confirmed my memory). God Bless you, MM!

EITHER. Some say E-ther, some say I-ther.

Then there are words that are spelled the same but mean different things.

I saw a saw saw a board that was going on the fence of a house where I get free room and board.

It's been all downhill since then, that's for sure.
