Where were you (in what county -- is this a geographical feature) when
the auxiliaries were handed out (that you didn't get "ought")?
Does (2) mean that (3) is also acceptable?
(3) Do you ought to go?
(All three are out for me. Joe, do you know anything about "Ozarks"
English -- perhaps they're OK there?)
