Dictionary Puts Michigan On the Map - Better Fix Our Roads

It seems the Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary has put Michigan on the Map by making a mistake.

Our northern half, the Upper Peninsula, had their beloved nickname "yooper" added to the dictionary - Sort of.  As reported on the NPR website, the dictionary added more than 150 new words and definitions, including the word Yooper. However, Merriam-Webster left off the "p" in its suggested pronunciation.

I'll bet a lot of people want to know just how our Yoopers feel about being calld 'Yooers'. They will just have to drive up there and ask them I guess.

So since people will be flocking to visit the Yoopers way up dare 'ya know, seems we better Fix our Roads. Get 'em all fixed up.  Soon 'ya know dare.

Drive Safely,
Will
