During my freshman year of college, I had a "big city easterner" sociology PhD tell me that I should take voice and articulation classes because when I spoke I sounded "dumb"! I could not get it through his head that he was continuing the slow loss of my culture. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/angry-smiley-055.gif I was dead serious, he thought I was full of crap! Here was this "big time" sociology professor, that had come to eastern Kentucky to "educate us for the better" and couldn't see that he was "changing" what he truly should have been observing, as a Sociologist!

Thank you! You were and are far wiser than the prof. That's always a difficult position for a student!
I'm impressed that you saw your language in true light rather than being cowed. Good for you, and thanks for a superb and insightful post.
