I'm a programmer at my day job and language hobbyist after work. I study foreign languages and organize a linguistics book club in Arlington.

Everyone who answers one of my questions gets an up vote...eventually. I will not down vote an answer on one of my questions, even if I think you are wrong. I thank everyone who has freely given me some of their time to answer my various questions.

 comment What does the end of sentence “eh” tag mean in Canadian English?
This is a really, really common Canadian mannerism. I've met Canadians that do this genuinely, that do this in jest, and it is a what comedians seize on when imitating Canadians. I just have never lived in Canada (or along the Canada-US border), so I'm not sure what it means.
