Thanks Ron.

> US Gummint is one way to say: "United States Government"

This is understandable to me when I was taught the meaning.
The thing always annoyes me is Bob is Robert.   I asked why this
can be the Americans around me when I was in US, and got no
solid answer.    Most just smiled.   Bob has quite different sound 
from Robert, hasn't it?
In case of Rob = Robert, I can understand it, of course.

Off topic, sorry.
