Sweet Home New England Something from a few weeks ago I wanted to share was this "what kind of American English do you speak." web survey thing. I saw it on Mir's site (DSD) (I hope Mir continues to write in her weblog so I can continue to read it) followed the answered the questions and got this result. Which I then placed into a stickey and after I turned stickies off proceeded to forget about, until I turned them back on today and -- there it was. Stickeys; its a Mac thing, don't worry about it. More trouble then they're worth. One of the questions didn't sit right with me though whether I called them drinking fountains or water fountains. I don't called them either - they're bubblers, who doesn't call them that. Your Linguistic Profile: 40% General American English 40% Yankee 15% Upper Midwestern 5% Dixie 0% Midwestern What Kind of American English Do You Speak? I think last time I spoke too blithely about being over this cold. I'm not. 11:22:10 PM    comment [];trackback [];
