Both Dr. Carine and, his associate, Prof. Hans Kurath,! agree on many of these historical fea- “ tures in the pronunciation and use of ‘ English in the United States.

', Scotch-Irish [Ill-m 1 "As to the usage of ‘will' and ‘shall' in the first person," said Dr. Curiae, "we have found that the Scotch and Irish for centuries had the common} usage of 'will,' and as these folks; emigrated to America in the early days, many of them sought the mid-{ dle west for their first homes. Hence, in the middle west, and in sections of our east, where Scotch and Irishl tirst settled. 'will' has the preference over 'sham.' Witness the usage of, words by the late President Woodrow! Wilson whose English was excellent.‘ He was of Scotch ancestry and there- fore in speaking and writing often employed 'will' in the first person} But as the middle west has become'; more populour and has gained com: mercial supremacy, the usage of r 'will' by its inhabitants, the descend.) ants of those early Scotch and Irish,' has become increasingly general and now it is a question of who shall set) [ the grammatical standard, east or, west. English descendants of the east‘ or the great numbers of Scotch and‘ Irish folks of the middle west? UL: timately even the dictum of gram-" marians who lay down the rule that 'shall' is to be preferred over 'will' may be over-ruled by usage. _ I'm of “Gotten" 1 "On the use of the word 'trotten.'-- it was in the old days commonly em-) played. l have examined English books of the time and do not flndr 'got,' but always 'ttattend Later. the English changed the form to 'ttot' and , we often followed suit, but 'trotten'; was undeniahly the form used in the; old days both in England and Amer-l ice. and in America 'rotten' is stiU) a common form even in the best lit-f mture." Both Scotch and Irish have for Bev- eral centuries employed "will" in the first person ot the future tense in, stead of "shall," and that accounts for "will" in the sections west of the Atlantic seaboard, originally settled in large part by Scotch Ind Irish, ac- cording to Prof. George 0. Curme, of the German department of North- western university. "he Scotch and Irish also brought a strong "r" with them. This "r" was strong even in the tinat position.
