A friend sent me this link tonight. It's really fascinating.
What would you do if you were a linguist and wanted to show a map of the dialects of North American English? Well, sorry, that question has been answered at the link above.
I really don't get the "Canadian Raising" bit... but then, I'm from Western Canada, where we do things differently in most things anyways, so what's a bit more? :-)
About Me
- Mr. Spit
- The Flatlands, Canada
- I'm a guy who married his best friend. After years of trying, we were expecting our first child, only to lose him early to severe preeclampsia. Somewhere along the line, I became convinced to voice my opinion to more than just my friends and family and place them here. I have live in a small house in a downtown metro area with my wife, two dogs, and two cats.

Welcome back :)
I spent the first 18 years of my life in Michigan. A place that I was certain did not have a special accent. It always amazes me when people come into the hotel that I work in and comment on my accent. People often ask if I am from Canada!!
