(no subject)

We recently re-watched a few old episodes of Monty Python (not that there are any other kind). The wife pointed out something I had never realized: due to my childhood viewing habits - British comedies at a very early age, primarily but not exclusively Python - my instinctual use of BBC intonation isn't really that. It's Monty Python's satire of BBC intonation, which is a slightly different thing.

Huh. Well, it's not going to change 45 years of hindbrain habit.
