Exploring My Non-Regional American English Dialect
I recently went back home to visit family and old friends in the very southwestern most region of Indiana. It had been three years since my last trip home, so I noticed a few things that got me thinking. I … Continue reading
Talking to the Enemy
I just listened to the most recent episode of This American Life, Your Own Worst Enemy. The premise of the show is that sometimes people do things that aren’t good for them. In the 3rd act, we follow a very … Continue reading

Caught this article. Ben & Jerry’s to drop the “All Natural” from their packaging. Excellent, I thought, that phrase doesn’t mean anything, anyway. Then I saw that the group pushing them to drop it, The Center for Science in the … Continue reading
