Just keeping you posted so you will not embarrass yourself. Due to the climate of political correctness now spreading throughout America, those of us in Michigan's Upper Peninsula shall no longer be referred to as Yoopers.

We are cradled by the mighty Lake Superior. They call this the "Land of Superior". We've even had a movement in our past to become the 51st state with the name Superior (some are still working on that in our taverns, camps, and such)......... therefore, instead of calling us Yoopers you shall now refer to us as Superior-Americans!!

I have a serious question about the State of Superior. Is the lack of "th" in the vocabulary the likely result of limited dentistry?
