I admit that "street" is one of the languages I am able to speak (if that's the same basic thing as 'hood), along with English, French, and Sinhalese. I admit that I think it's funny to take on various dialects and slang just for just... but then again, I loved my Linguistics classes at college, and all the stuff that we discussed about language and communication. I admit that my inner crazy black lady with the pink sponge curlers and the fuzzy slippers wouldn't sound quite right speaking the Queen's English. I admit that I have a lot of characters rolling around in my head, so I can't just pick one dialect and stick with it 24/7. They would get bored. *giggles* I admit that Carol Burnett and Tracey Ullman are two of my "idols" growing up, so I love having a variety show going on in my brain.
