The Wiscarillion is largely a story about a couple two trees.




I'm so sorry.

The waterskiing video brings up a lot of trauma stemming from things my husband and his cousins do on Wisconsin lakes.

Love sub-regional accents. So fun to listen to!

In Rhode Island, we have at least eight sub-regional accents. One of them is a hold-over from Arcadians expelled from Nova Scotia and then wound up in Woonsocket.

In Provdense, west of rt95, they'd say it like, "Guy, we all pahk aw caws side-by-side at the hospital, and couldja throw tha pillaaw down tha stays ta me? I'll make ya a sannich."

In WoonSA-Ket they'd say it like, "Doot, we's all side-by-each pahk aw caws at the anospital, also couldja throw me down the says the pilloohh? I'll make ya a sangweech."

In Newport (New)* they'd say it like, "Guy, we all park our cars in a row at the hospital, also could you throw me the pillow down the stairs? I'll make you a sanwich."

(*Military respect for consonants (there's a huge Navy R&D facility there, as well as the Naval War Acadamy) yet a hint of South Coast singsong pronunciation, phrasing, and a few shortcuts sneaking in. Old Newport is if Julia Childs was from Maine.)
