Dealing with another episode of being short-staffed at my library, I was taking care of something in the back room and dashing out to the front desk where two people were awaiting help.
"How can I help you?" I asked in a British accent.
They were a couple dealing with a power outage from our recent storms and wanted to know where they could work on their computers.
And they were both British!
I mentioned that it was funny that I spoke to them in an English accent before I even heard them speak.
They didn't care.
Which is the kind of thing one would expect from the sort of people who only visit the library when their power is down.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
