7. Tapped t's in American English Pronunciation October 02, 2009 One of the features that distinguish American English pronunciation from some other types of English pronunciation is the use of the so-called “tapped” t or d.

8. Why Learn Spanish? September 29, 2009 Why learn Spanish of all languages? Why not Italian, French, or even Russian, because it seems to be the most practical language to have these days living in the US.

America needs the likes of your humble and gracious columnist reminding them to get out of that box of uncritical thinking and untested assumptions. So ... (read more) Author: William Doyle
