Out and About

Jun 18, 2001 15:50

A few days back I mentioned my confusion at the way I'd suddenly started to add a Canadian touch to words like "about." It made no sense. Nearly two years in due South fandom, with all the Canadian TV shows and movies that seemed to accompany it, hadn't done it. Spending a week in Toronto in September hadn't done it. Why now? It left me wondering if a few months of watching Andromeda could have affected me somehow, which seriously weirded me out.

I have an answer now. This started with me calling Iowa Friday. Today I called North Dakota for a few hours and had similar "about"s spun right back at me. If I'd been listening harder Friday, I probably would have heard the same.

Color me relieved that this is explicable now.
