    If you do a little research, MOST people are not happy about this Movie they are steering very far away from the premise of the book, which really has fans up in arms.

    I'm not sure I have ever seen a Hollywood movie stay close to to the original book form

    How I can mostly agree, this movie has really gone off the path the book was on.

    I think there's a rule in Hollywood that filmmakers must start with a good book or foreign film, take the main charecters, and plug them into a standard movie plot/storyline, completely destroying the story.

    kc8ufv wrote of the word Yankee: “Doesn’t really cause any ambiguity around the area I’m from. Around here, the word is either A) a baseball team from New York, B) Olde, or C) (relatively) foreign.”

    Interesting. I am aware that Southerners, especially, are riled when non-Americans refer to them as Yankees.
    And while the term originated in the Dutch colony of Nieuw Nederland (it is apparently taken from the name of a colonist named Jan Kees), I have come across it used of New Englanders just as much as of New Yorkers.
    And when you say that it means “relatively foreign” I take it you mean “not from my part of the US”?

    Yes, pretty much unused by those around here, but intended meaning rapidly inferred when the word is used.

    As a native of the former New Amsterdam, I always took the term to refer most closely to New Englanders. Perhaps that was the Dutch colonists' way of referring to them, just as the Amish here call all outsiders "English".
