      This makes sense, in that my father was schooled in West-Central Vermont, but my mother is from a suburb of Philadelphia. I and my sisters were schooled in West-Central Vermont, but our English teachers from such "faraway" places as Chicago, Denver, and Miami, and we were very strongly influenced by our mother. She always wanted us to "speak correctly," but we assured her that we "talked right."
