« Face Unveiled

the personal blog of Lori Vernon.

This is the personal blog site of Lori Vernon. The purpose of this site is to to have an outlet to share thoughts, quotes and personal notes as I am inspired. The title "Face Unveiled" is inspired by the following verse:

"And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit."
II Corinthians 3:18

I am a missionary to the Akha hilltribe in Northern Thailand and am originally from Salem, Oregon. You can view more information about me at my website - The Vernon Journal - online at http://loriandpaul.hopedenver.com (another humblethorn designs site)

How do you say EGG?

Tuesday, January 17, 2006

My husband is always teasing me about how I say certain words... like "egg" and "leg". (I say them with a long "a" instead of a short "e" ...which he insists is the proper way.) We've always been curious to unravel the mystery of my little accent , so this silly little questionaire, which supposedly tells what type of American English you speak, caught my attention. Here are my results...

My Linguistic Profile:

70 % General American English
20% Upper Midwestern
5% Midwestern
5% Yankee
0% Dixie

What Kind of American English Do You Speak?
