mtbc: maze M (white-blue)
This morning, I caught myself pronouncing lever in the American manner rather than the British. To date, I've spent most of my adult life living in the US. Now that I am in the UK for the foreseeable future, I'm trying to shift back to my prior norms. R. does quite well with switching because they spent their life living in countries that were once American or British colonies and retain some of that legacy.

Update: … and this evening I caught myself saying slaughterhouse instead of abattoir.
