Writer's Block: Art imitating life

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I'm tempted to go with Casablanca. Some humans are bad, some humans are good, and some both. We do terrible things to each other, and sometimes wonderful things for each other, and where there's life, there's hope.

As far as the Oscars go, as per usual, I've only seen one of the best film nominees, and the only awards I care about are the sound editing and soundtrack awards, both of which I want to go to Inception. I still haven't forgiven the Oscars for Dark Knight not getting the editing award last year.

What American accent do you have?
Created by Xavier on Memegen.net

Northern. Whether you have the world famous Inland North accent of the Great Lakes area, or the radio-friendly sound of upstate NY and western New England, your accent is what used to set the standard for American English pronunciation (not much anymore now that the Inland North sounds like it does).

If you are not from the North, you are probably one of the following:
(a) A Southerner who hates Southern accents and tries really hard to "talk right"; or
(b) A New Yorker or New Jerseyan who doesn't have the full accent

Take this quiz now - it's easy!

We're going to start with "cot" and "caught." When you say those words do they sound the same or different?

Same Different Same, no wait I mean different, maybe, a little bit different...

Not entirely unsuspected, given that this is what I tend to get on these.
