Hey, its early morning. Weather seems to become brilliant. Going to a Bossel fight for the U60 later and granted me a bit of teenie pop. Pardon me!

Err... Psycholinguistics was one of the areas I used to lecture in (when I had a job 😁 of sorts), so I'm probably over-sensitised to English-as-she-is-spoken....

A few years ago British English was afflicted by what could be called the Australian Interrogative - every sentence was pronounced with a tonal rise on the last syllable. Every sentence sounded like a question.
Also bizarre.

Ah... There's English English and then there's Scots - Rabbie Burns and Greyfriars Bobby territory 😋. I really warm to the Edinburgh accent, and the Orkadian, too!
