I just talked to
tempertemper77! On the PHONE! (We live in the FUTURE!)
She has the CUTEST accent (especially when she talks to her kids! --all those glottalized mid-word "t" sounds and so many sounds I recognize as
Estuary!) and it was TOTALLY AWESOME!
We talked about kids and food and accents and Bones and that story that
bloodwrites is torturing us with and it was (did I mention?) TOTALLY AWESOME! Next time I shall have to ask her how to say "Cymru" and "Caerphilly" and see if she can do that funky "ll" that's halfway between a "ch" and a "l" that's in "Llewelyn"...as I look at Welsh at Wiki, it reminds me terribly strongly of Chaucer's Middle English.
I cannot BELIEVE that I can call Wales from my wireless, portable, magical communication device.
*Squee*!!!
