Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Her user ID is 244. She posted on WX. She has a stor. Let's not get all "membership guidelines." That way lies madness and kerfuffle. Let's just not.

She has a stor.
I love that you included this! I miss the stors. (I miss when Tom W. changed his stor to various tomato heads. I miss the stor montage of the BTVS/Angel characters, especially bloody-fist!Fred.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Oh, Tom's stors! Hilarious and I had forgotten them.

Uh, speaking of immigration, here's an interesting article about people going around New York City to study endangered languages like Vlashki, Garifuna, Mamuju....
The same thing happened on a small scale in the Midwest fifty years ago. Scandinavian dialects that had existed in isolated valleys for millenia were being overwhelmed by the homogenizing effects of radio and TV. Elderly Scandinavians had difficulty remembering what was their childhood language and what was the general language, because the the two had been mixing for fifty years.
But those who had left for America as yound adults had been listening to radio and TV, and and interacting with other humans in English, so their childhood language was preserved. Scandinavian liguists sought them out and wrote dissertations on e.g. "Icebox Norwegian" that preserved the 19th century dialects.

Because they had been completely separate, you mean?

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
And I know Buffistas are all about the debates, but it didn't feel like good faith to me (or erika or DJ) so we called it out.
And I respect that. I know your concern was coming from a good place, and I love you guys for it. Also, when are you going to come to Nashville again? t bats eyelashes
I miss the stors too!
