These days I think about all the unique linguistic patterns there. There are ways of pronouncing words and phrases there that are unique in the world. For example, the tendency for some in rural towns to speak in short rapid fire sentences and pronounce "th" as "t" and insist the Safeway is called "Safeway's". There are so many more... e.g. do people there say "take a rank" when they mean "have a tantrum"?
