It's presumptuious of you to assume you're smarter than me. Let's clear it up, you're wrong on the very first thing you've said in your argument, why would I be bothered to look up anything else?

I took linguitics courses, I knew you were wrong. I've brought the proof. Go read a book.

Main Entry: Dialect
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: local speech
Synonyms: accent, argot, can, idiom, jargon, language, lingo, localism, patois, patter, pronunciation, provincialism, regionalism, slang, terminology, tongue, vernacular, vocabulary

So not only did you say I was an elitist *******, but you completly disregarded my actual points here. You said nothing about the instrumentation or placement of notes in the music, no what did you tell me?:

Jimmy Rodgers and the carter family invented coutry.

Thats simply amazing. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to guess one person didn't invent an enitre genre of music. Irish immigrants, moving to the country had more to do with country musics emmersion than anything else.
