Where else do
they speak Dutch besides some rural parts of Pennsylvania
where they generally shun technology? :)
The "Pennsylvania dutch" are actually german, for all I know.
Seems that like a case of one person saying "deutsche" and
another hearing "dutch". At least that's the explanation that I heard from a native. This native was born in a
farm,
then went to Drexel university, and now he's a phd and a top
programmer of web applications for research purposes. So
not all "Pennsylvania dutch" are technology averse. His
dad, still a farmer, uses a Mac. So they even have taste
in technology.
That would probably make a terrific story for Christine Finn. Would you
mind passing along his contact information in private e-mail?
