and I sez "Mum" and writes "Mum." In fact, me own Mum, being British by birth, despises "Mom" - so as kids my brothers and I quickly learned to "fix" any cards we gave her (birthday, mother's day etc) so that the offending "o" was replaced by the proper "u."

in the UK we tend to use 'mum' and 'mummy' while in the USA you tend to use 'mom' and 'mommy'. Wonder how that happened.
Your-all's are better preserved, obviously...

of course you know the story of the quartet of young cousins, all named Melvin(family name, natch). seems the little rapscallions snuck into the kitchen to steal cookies, when they heard their mothers returning found no where to go: where were four Mel's to hide?

That's worse and more contrived than anything TEd has come up with recently. You're welcome.
