Valley Speak

Tonight's LING class was full of people trying to stay awake. Poor Cliff. It wasn't his fault, it was just one of those nights. It's pretty dry material, and it takes a herculean effort to make it more interesting. I passed an article over to him about a so-called dialect expert who says he can tell people from Vancouver because of the "valley-girl" tendencies. I can see that... people here say "like" ALL THE TIME.
