- Jelani Cobb at the New Yorker (yes, The New Yorker. Don't make me say it twice) on the way Americans talk around Class.
- Language things. (As a starting place. Also because the quoted writer misses that many Americans pronounce ant and aunt the same. I am one of the weirdos who pronounce it awnt, but that's my home subculture. See also the vocal-coach-vs.-Lina Lamont scene in Singing in the Rain.)
- Not rioting yet. (Cheek, this is Tongue. Tongue, Cheek. You two have so much in common.)
- "Vernacular heritage" and speaking in non-stereotypical accent.
One misses a lot when one doesn't post for a week.
