Less grammatical, more accenting, saying a lot more "ain't"s and
non-existent words (which is Chris's fault - no one does that around Baw-ston).

Let me assure you, it'll change. I think that I now have a twinge of
American accent on my hebrew, which I *never* had before (even though I
spent three years here as a kid).

"Oz" nickname on lugnet.

Mine is Shee-ree (rhymes with teary) Doar-ee (rhymes with... uhh... boring
without the ng. ;-). And for some reason, I say "Lau" instead of plain "Low"
(as in the opposite of high?).
