I have a cousin in California who refers to the East as "back east"--but both he and his parents were born and raised on the west coast, so it certainly isn't "back home" for any of them. Try saying "out east" and "back west" and notice how strange it sounds. -- Dana S. Nau CSNet: dsn@umcp-cs ARPA: dsn@maryland UUCP: {seismo,allegra,brl-bmd}!umcp-cs!dsn
