<div dir="ltr"><div><div>All,<br><br></div>Four more cartoons have been added to the "more recent" cartoons<br>page. Two of them, however, are not exactly "recent"--I found them in a file while looking for something else. But they are relevent to attitudes about language and dialect--one about George W Bush's Texas accent, another about his ability to speak Spanish, and another about studying Arabic. Also, the one that shows a suspect being arrested by police, and being told that "anything you <b>say with an accent</b> will be held against you" I found just after the Boston bombing. Go figure.<br>
