Subject: Re: Diversity of accents



While the newspaper article may not be a joke, the media are still capable

of noticing dialect differences: WSB, the 50,000W Atlanta AM station,

interviewed me during the playoffs so that I could explain the funny

accents up in Philadelphia. (Needless to say, I found irony in the

request on *many* counts). I didn't hear what WSB edited out of the

phone interview, but it was scheduled to play the morning of game 5.
