Cover Blown

I'm weeping. Yes, I suspect I'm one too; I have always been something of a victim of linguistic accommodation (except when I lived in Bensonhurst, because I deliberately worked at not sounding like I had a double-digit IQ). Only I fake it so badly I don't even fool myself. (Via Mark Morford, whom you all should read regularly as he's bloody brilliant.) Update: Via Jonathan Edelstein, here's one making the rounds - the Splendidiser (click "Splendidiser" at the bottom of the page), which takes a website or text paragraph of your choice and spiffs it up so it sounds veddy veddy.
