Beth- My apologies.- Stephen- Yep. I totally spaced that one! :) Too much Nitrous hanging on from earlier today, I suspect. Or as my students might say, "A little slow on the uptake, prof!" :)
Beth and Stephen- I do have to admit to being totally skeptical about this syndrome even after reading about it the first time in a journal. If memory serves it was near the beginning of April, if you know what I mean. In that instance I was completely taken in by my own suspicious nature. Maybe Beth revealed a new one- Late Night Nitrous Fatigue Syndrome! The only known cure is a little crow followed by extended sleep session (I second Stephen's, "Well done, 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.
