I WAS asleep. Now there is an achaic verb form, preceeding the root with an a, as in asleep or await. That is a hold over from the oral tradition of preceediing verbs with As. Here in Kentucky I hear it fairly often. Hes just alookinat me. Im acookn up a big ole mess p beans n taters. (I am serious. And I am not micking anyone! Dialects amaze me. Id rather hear Southern dialects than sone from NY!)
