That's a great citation. Thanks, Stil. Of course, I speak standard American English. My friends from the UK laugh and say "American English" is an oxymoron.

Interesting. Well, quite interesting. As a Brit, I can just about tell the difference between a Bostonian Lawyer and an Arizonan gun-collector who keeps his sister in a box under the bed. But only just. Y'all sound like the cast of True Blood ter me. Uh uh, uh uh. (Great show, by the way - HBO just keeps 'em comin'.)
