Regional Observations
A few tidbits I’ve learned of late, in no particular order:
- Asian guys who grow up in the South speak with Southern accents. I know, common sense says that of course they do, but it’s still kinda weird for pseudo-Yankee transplants like me.
- All y’all (and, I presume, the bare pronoun y’all) includes corporations as well as natural persons.
- Nothing is too naughty for Trump’s USA, but contrary to popular opinion, some things are too naughty for Nevada.

I’ve been working with an Englishman of Asian descent - I’d guess his folks came from Hong Kong - who sounds like what I understand working class Londoners do. Similarly disconcerting.
