Beth Benoit went: > Ohmigod, are you serious? When I saw this, I was like, whatever. You > guys are so: I don't even know. Later.
Tim Shearon tried to explain: > Beth. Approximately six documented cases a year people begin speaking = > with notable and recognizable inflection following a stroke or head = > injury. Is that what you mean by serious? :) Yup. Unusual but it = > happens. Tim I think I can help here. Tim, my deconstruction of Beth's remark is not that she was expressing amazement at foreign language syndrome (as well we all may). Instead, she was contributing a tiny perfect sample of Young American dialect (accent, if you will). Well done, Beth.
