vocal habits
The pronunciation of route? It rhymes with the Canadian about, the pronunciation of which, due to close proximity to numerous Canadians, has infiltrated my vocabulary. I won't even go into what Marylanders have done to my home, my cold, fold, and my hold.
And the slang you pick up away from home? I can only imagine the looks on my parents' faces the first time I unthinkingly come out with something along the lines of "Say what? Wow. Sketch! All caps, bolded, italicized sketch like Sketch from Pennsylvania sketch. That was scarier than Killington."
In any case, I assign being the last to order and then having the latte machine break just before they start my "SmallTwoPercentVanillaLatteWithExtraVanillaAndNoF oam".
