Subject: Yooper Recognition Author: Bob Haeffner [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:44:47 03/26/14 Wed Merriam-Webster is recognizing "Yooper" in their next edition, coming out next month. See http://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2014/03/yooper_to_be_added_to_merriam-.html This reference and several others easily found googling "yooper" only says it is being defined as a term for Upper Peninsula residents. It will be interesting to see if a second definition as a dialect will also be included. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
