Canadian doesn't seem to be one of the choices. (I wonder which 10% of my English is "Dixie"!)

Your Linguistic Profile:
45% General American English

Hey there - I just threw a post up on the lectures from last night and one from today. I have to do one more post, but it was REALLY painful to sit through. I got to meet Tony Burns though, which was great.

Sorry you couldn't come, but it would have probably melted your head, so it's likely for the best!
