Back from Slovenia and Croatia! Had a great time and am pretty tired at work today. I'll post stories and pics soon. Really cool places, though. I even heard from a few locals, "I love America!" Hurrah!
Anyway, Emily and I were chatting a bit about the Connecticut accent. We thought it was simply less pronunciation of the "t" in words like "right" -> "righ". While here, I've had a hard time coming up with a British accent that I can use for fun (usually after a few pints of London Pride beer). The only thing I've thought of is pronouncing those t's -> Bri-TISH. Anyway, here's an article on the Connecticut accent:

I'm curious to hear what ya'll think about this one. Especially from YOU Jess "Speech Specialist Extraordinaire" McCallum.
