Click on the link below for a little linguistics quiz. It's fun.

BTW - I'm barely a Yankee; born and bred in Beantown, and I'm barely a Yankee. Go figure....

Time invested in improving ourselves cuts down on time disapproving of others.

I had to explain a couple of the questions to Alex, but he came out Southren. but only slightly. He used to do computational linguistics for IBM - worked in Texas and NY State, so he's had enough time to pick up his own particular dialect. ;-)
I'm curious - does anyone out there know what a spukie (short "u" sound) is? Don't worry - it's G-rated.

Dialects are so fun & of course, "My Fair Lady" is one of my favorite movies. The Brits have a way with words. I really dig some of their terms like "chemist".
