"Great article! It takes me back to the time when I was a student in New England. Me with an East Tennessee accent/dialect. Mixin' with Northerners was a challenge. Add to that being dyslexic....
First novel I ever read, Huckleberry Finn, was while I was a student up there. It was the one book I did not have to concentrate to read and got it. Twain wrote phonetically, and it was Southern. I got it. Some of the students up there struggled because of it. I think it was the first, maybe only, time I excelled in a literature class."
