Re: THEORY: Vowel shift (was: THEORY: Storage Vs. Computation)

Various people wrote:

Andrew:  Is this different to the vowel shift that is effecting the Southern
         England dialect group?

John:    I believe so, but I don't have enough specifics to be sure.

Charles: I hope not:

Raymond: and I know not  :)

Andrew said "Is this different?" and I replied "I believe so",
viz. "I believe it's different".  Charles and Ray say "I hope not"
and "I know not", but their evidence is that it *is* different;
i.e. they agree with me.

Ah, the English language.
