Reason #328 why it's good to be a John Barrowman fan:
Reading the chapter in Miriam Meyerhoff's Introducing Sociolinguistics on Language attitudes, and reading a very familiar example. There was an anecdotal story in Scotland of a toddler who was living there with his non-Scottish parents, who when dropped off at nursery started a chant of "Book, book, book!" In the beginning of the chant, it was [bʊɘk] and ended the chant with [buk].
And the reaction? Bitch, please. = D
PS: Whoever created this apple and cherry filling for this pie is a genius.
