Title: Foreign Language Syndrome

Just FYI…. The woman who is afflicted with this disorder (following a stroke) was interviewed on the Today show yesterday and she not only had a mild British accent but timbre of her voice had changed rather radically.  That's not surprising. What was surprising (and contrary to some of the speculation on TIPS, she had started using words such as "loo" (for bathroom", "lift" (for elevator) and "brolly" (for umbrella). Very strange.
