And I heard a hoo... a hoo... a hoo...

I am resisting a sarcastic reply to A when he asks why he shouldn't use "mo'" for "more" and "bo'" for "bowl" and am instead explaining how people will treat him like a smart person when he asks for a copy of Pygmalian in Borders, but that if he uses mo' and bo', people will treat him like [an uneducated barbarian].
