We should pity the poor deprived Northerners
The locals up here suffer from a vowel shortage, you see.

Whereas normal people have both a long U and a short U to play with, as in "put" and "cut", and a long A and short A ("paths" and "maths") Northerners have to make do with just one of each.

Maybe some kind of charity appeal is in order. But don't ask Yazz to sing.
