<br>Dear Mr. Popick,
<br>
<br>        I am indebted to you and thank you for your help.  I am from Southern
<br>Louisiana, so I am good with words and phrases used in the Cajun dialect.
<br>If you should ever have questions about a word or phrase that you suspect
<br>is from the Acadiana region of Louisiana, please e-mail.
<br>
<br>        Thanks again--
<br>
<br>                                                        All my best,
<br>                                                        Elizabeth Gibbens

<br>  I LOVE NY
<br> 
<br>       I Love NY is the tourist slogan of the New York State Department of
<br>  Economic Development.  The 20th anniversary of the slogan is on their web
<br>  page:
<br>  http://205.232.252.23/ny20th/intro.html
<br>       You can get an "I Love NY" Mastercard at:
<br>  http://www.webapply.com/iloveny/
<br>       The song is also at:
<br>  http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/PubLib/archive/9704/0469.htm/
<br>        "I Love NY" was inspired by Virginia's tourist slogan, "Virginia is
<br>for
<br>  lovers."
<br>       Most interesting to me is "heart" = "love."  There was a note about
<br>this
<br>  in American Speech, but I couldn't find it in the quick check I made of
<br>the
<br>  ADS web site index.  How do I look up a heart symbol?  Cecil Adams's The
<br>  Straight Dope had a 2-16-96 column called "Why heart = love."
<br>       That goes way back to ancient times, as does the heart
<br>shape--although
<br>  the heart is NOT heart-shaped!  I have some newspaper advertisements
<br>going
<br>  back 100 years that use the heart symbol, but I can't find them now.
<br>       About the "zen" query, see the Wall Street Journal, "PEPPER...and
<br>Salt,"
<br>  30 June 1959, pg. 16, col. 5, caption:  "Calm!  How can I be calm?  I
<br>send him
<br>  off to college so he can be useful in business, and he comes back a Zen
<br>  Buddhist!"

<br>  THINK (IBM)
<br>  THINK DIFFERENT (APPLE)
<br> 
<br>      There's a very large Apple "Think Different" billboard near my home
<br>at the
<br>  corner of Third Avenue and 59th Street.
<br>      Actually, shouldn't that be "Think Differently"?
<br>      And does Apple really want people who "Think Different"?  If I send
<br>out a
<br>  resume written with crayons, do I have the job??
<br>      The Wall Street Journal's "PEPPER...and Salt" loved to make fun of
<br>IBM's
<br>  "Think."
<br> 
<br>  17 November 1958, pg. 16, col. 5.
<br>  CAPTION:  "The boss believes in moderation in everything!"
<br>       A sign on the wall states "THINK /A LITTLE."
<br> 
<br>  4 February 1959, pg. 10, col. 5.
<br>       A skier is about to make a jump run.  Just before he potentially
<br>meets
<br>  his agony of defeat, he reads a sign that states "THINK."
<br> 
<br>  21 April 1959, pg. 18, col. 2.
<br>       One sign states "DEPARTMENT OF ANTIQUITIES."  Another sign states
<br>"THINK
<br>  BACK."
