NOTE, _Clever_, _pretty_, _ugly_, _curious_, _expect_, _guess_, and
_reckon_, though correct English words, have, among the common
people of New England and New York, a provincial application and
meaning. With them, a _clever_ man, is one of a gentle and obliging
disposition; instead of, a man of distinguished talents and profound
acquirements. _Pretty_ and _ugly_, they apply to the _disposition_
of a person, instead of, to his _external appearance_. In these
states, one will often hear, "I _guess_ it rains," when the speaker
_knows_ this to be a fact, and, therefore, _guessing_ is uncalled
for. "I _expect_ I can go;" or, "I _reckon_ I can;" instead of, "I
_suppose_ or _presume_." In New England, a clergyman is often called
a _minister_, in New York, a _priest_, and south of N.Y. a _parson_.
The last is preferable.
