Figure skating has changed these past sixty years. Peggy Fleming had to skate a series of figures in order to qualify to present an artistic program. Scott Hamilton was known for his long series of footwork. Male figure skaters would sneak into Midori Ito’s practice sessions to see her triple axel. Today, in Nashville, top men’s programs have as many as five quadruple jumps.

This MLK day, I contemplate speech, colloquialisms, regional dialects, and nuances. Some ‘Zoners have asked if I talk the way I write. I do. Also, I have a southern accent. It’s not thick, but careful listeners have recognized it. I have spent 3/4 of my time on this earth in the Southeastern US.

Pronunciations reflect the legacy of segregation. It’s subtle, but evident in the speech of the university educated as much as blue collar folk. An example: most of European heritage pronounce Martin Mar-tin; African Americans are likely to pronounce Martin Mart-in.

Of course, the diphthongs of the gnat belt (the savannah region of the southeast 0-400 ASL) cross racial lines. Natives of this area can stretch “thank you” into seven syllables. In my mind, this is most evidenced in the speech of women. They’re most likely to thank others with more than the grunts and nods that constitute communication between men.

I don’t Facebook.
I have a Facebook with 11 friends. All family and the only reason is to buy and sell on market place. Having real friends means you’re not a scammer. That’s my thoughts anyway. It’s not attached to my phone in any way. Even so I got this suggestion for a friend today.
Big brother is watching

You might be 40 years younger than the Fossilized Fornicator, but not me. We're probably close to the same age.
