replied on: 7/14/2005 3:26:22 PM In DH Lawrence's "Sons and Lovers", when one of the characters uses the word "sorry" meaning "mate", the publisher has added a note at the bottom of the page explaining what the dialect word means |

replied on: 7/15/2005 4:26:18 AM I've not heard that one for a long while. While a lot of dialect can be traced quite easily, I'm at a loss to think how Sorry could mean Mate. But I know that it did (does?) |
