Talk:awluz

Correct spelling
An internet link seems to have a mis-transcription of this quote. The following is what I believe to be the correct version, but perhaps someone could check in a printed copy?


 * 1) * 1884,, , Chapter VIII:
 * "Doan' hurt me--don't! I hain't ever done no harm to a ghos'. I awluz liked dead people, en done all I could for 'em. You go en git in de river agin, whah you b'longs, en doan' do nuffn to Ole Jim, 'at 'uz awluz yo' fren'."

 * I might be wrong about this. Perhaps Mark Twain really did write alwuz for the stressed form, in which case the cite really should be:


 * "Doan' hurt me--don't! I hain't ever done no harm to a ghos'. I alwuz [sic] liked dead people, en done all I could for 'em. You go en git in de river agin, whah you b'longs, en doan' do nuffn to Ole Jim, 'at 'uz awluz yo' fren'."   D b f  i  r  s   11:08, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
