Word "Chore" Not SIano.

The word "chore," generally used
In the plural, is not slang, but an Eng
lish word of highly respectable line
age. In this form it is found only in
America, in England the spelling and
pronunciation being char" though
this is rarely used except in combina-
ton with char-woman."
But in some of the provincial dialects,

down to us from the Anglo-Saxon
word "cerr," or "cerran," to turn
over.
