My imagination is running wild! I'd love to see the Dialectizer text that offended that bank! At first I thought the Dialectizer was gone forever and I was about to panic. I had enough withdrawal pains when they took me off coffee for two months. How could I survive without the Dialectizer and coffee at the same time!?!

I, too, will stand behind Sam 100%. I am distressed about the suggestion that the Dialectizer is racist. Sam would never be a part of something like that. I wonder if the Confederate flag over the South Carolina State House has sparked a frenzy of some kind?

For the sake of old retired teachers like me who need a few laughs to brighten up our bleak existance, I hope the dialectizer will become fully functional again in the near future.
