well anglo (my mom grew up in westmount i think?)

BUT! as my scots grandma met my irish grandpa on the boat to canada that he was taking to pursue his pregnant sister and beat up her (married) boyfriend, i feel i have street creds.

with a chicago accent which is always pretty.

shouldn't do it from a mobile browser, but if you post via your email app it might. Smart-phones all have email account settings that specify sigs- just gotta dig in a bit
