An American JW friend -- full-blooded Italian, fluent in the language -- went to Italy and said there were language difficulties from one area to another. It wasn't the "Italian" he grew up speaking.

Languages, Dialects, Accents
by LoveUniHateExams injust though i'd start a thread devoted to languages, dialects/sociolects and accents, with the idea being that posters can comment on any language, or dialect or accent of any language, on this thread.. any phrases, expressions or idioms that you find interesting are also welcome.
first, the subject of english accents came up on another thread.. the british isles have many different types of accent (although many of the dialects may be dying out), and if i start to take a closer look, i can't help but see 'patterns' .... in received pronunciation of standard english, the letter r is pronounced initially, between vowels, and after consonants, e.g.
red, arrow, break.

Do you air on the side of caution?
by compound complex inwell, that would be an airer.
it's all in how we hear the spoken word.
when a little boy, one fellow thought "world peace" was "whirled peas.

It's eye-opening to read about ancient faiths -- those preceding the Big Three patriarchal religions -- and that there was no concept of original sin, hence the consequent need of salvation through ransoming.
And, it follows, the need for laws and priests and prophets and . . . MESSIAH!
I had no idea (until I began reading proscribed literature).

"Last year I planned to put in some daffodils, but my health took a dip. After seeing everyone else's coming up, I will do it this fall." -- Blondie
Yes, likewise! The display of daffodils, King Alfred my fave, is riotous here. We have a yearly Daffodil Run, just recently, in fact. I HAVE to plant my own this fall.
I was house sitting this last week and left with a bowl of sprouting russets on the kitchen island. This family buys all natural, no GMOs allowed in the kitchen. The eyes were removed in readiness for subsequent planting. The spuds mashed up nicely . . .
Hope your health is on the upswing.

At 1300 feet, in the Sierra Foothills (California), we rarely get snow, but this wet winter has seen close to 100 inches of rain, which creates its own set of problems. The higher elevations, where all the famous ski resorts are located, have almost 200 percent of normal snowfall. Driving up there is winding your vehicle through high-walled tunnels.
Good luck and happy planting, fellow gardeners!
