“Nobody but nobody uses such terms (tally book) today.”

Still, I was a little surprised you would make such an obvious mistake and not set the record straight when given the opportunity.

But I called you out on three words -- chivvied, homestand and tally book -- none of which I've ever heard used in this country.

1. You referenced a John Wayne movie for "chivvied" which satisfies me it's equivalent to "thee" and "thou" in some old movies of the colonial era.
   
2. I saw no reference for "homestand" suggesting that really is jeffersondem's own background coming out.
   
3. For "tally book" you provide a link to a US distributor, but a word search on "tally book" leads us here suggesting some kind of foreign translation.

Of course, this whole exercise is merely an effort to shame jeffersondem into confessing where (presumably) he's from and something identifying just who we're dealing with.
We can note that even DiogenesLamp has a bit of personal story to tell here, but not jeffersondem and his word clues suggest something interesting....
