Hi Ray,

Indeed - the words 'American', 'English', 'dictionary' and 'foreign' have
origins that are far, far away from 'umich' let alone 'Miska'. None but
'umich' is a word that can trace its roots to USA which is I suppose where
our linguistic hygienist issues his fatwas.

Speaking from, but not for, the Far East
