It's interesting, because now that I've read the way Annie writes out the accent, I've realized that, yes, people in the mountain west really do separate the "a" (for "to") from the preceding word. So I used to say "gonna," and that's still what I write, but I find that I'm lengthening the sounds to something like "goin a" when I speak. Still looks weird to write it, though, so I don't.

Ditto ... it is hard to do that. It is like the "s'alright" thing. I always write it out like "It's alright". My speech has got the twang thing going, however. OMG! My Brokeback speak is going kill all the work I have done to speak with more enunciation! :-\

Tell you what....
I had washed my hands quickly in the kitchen sink and caught myself wiping my hands on the back on my pants just like Ennis did after reading Jacks first postcard!

I do that, too! Especially because in my messy kitchen (never enough time to straighten up) I can never find a towel.
I won't add a reminder of what I think Ennis' next stop is, after the hand-drying.

Yesterday morning, I got out to the car, realized something and said, "I can't believe I left my damn keys up there."
