Exactly! lol

I actually started going out of my way to make sure folks used proper grammar when speaking with me (ex. I'd correct them mid-sentence). When I started doing that, I didn't really hear much about my "white-isms" :shrug:

You have to remember though, she went to NYU IIRC. If so, then most of the people she knew were probably from out of state. I met a group of 8 NYU undergrads recently, and only 2 or 3 of them were locals.
