"Do You Speak American?"

us-states

I’ve always loved Public Broadcasting System (PBS). From “This Old House” to “Antiques Roadshow” to “NOVA,” there’s usually something interesting on the schedule. A new (to me) program—”Do You Speak American”—takes a look at the different ways that Americans speak from Maine lobstermen to California surfers. It features celebrated journalist and writer Robert MacNeil in his first public television documentary since 1995 and is a celebration of Americans as seen—and heard—through the way we speak.  It’s a fascinating show for the soldiers in the War on Error. Check out the companion website if you have any spare time.
