Place around the corner used to make a rootbeer-float affair with a very dark house-brewed porter (I think, I'm not a beeranista) and delicious Tillamook Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. Even I, a not-beer person, could suck one of those down.

I think you're right, and I say that as a person who's second language is childhood pig-latin.

On the other hand, I'm surprised at how thick her accent still is - she's been living in the states for quite a while now, and most the folks I know who've been here a decade or more retain much less of the accent from their original languages. I wonder, does she play it up for effect? Is she so isolated she doesn't really spend much time speaking English? It does seem odd to me.

Not to me.

The people I met with heavy accents after living here for a decade or more always think they "don't need to speak better", because look at how "successful" they are already?

The best jaw-dropping moment was when Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III said he was on a family-bustin' crusade because people who come to the United States have to respect our laws. Did I mention that Sessions is a serial perjurer, who lied under oath several times?

Huh, “Be Best “. At least they got her to drop the next line:“Bonana Fana Fo Fest”.
