nonionayLast night, I had an entire dream about how I say "melk" and "pen" instead of "milk" and "pin".
This is something I've been obsessing over since I read this blog post. If I remember right, part of the point of that post is that we're unaware of our linguistic quirks, and for years, I've had the impression that I'm linguistically boring, other than, possibly, what he refers to as "creaky voice".
