"heritage speakers"

[Richard Robin]

Let's give credit where credit is due: I'm pretty certain that it is our
own Irene Thompson who coined the term "nativoid." However, I am not sure
of the less colorful, albeit more PC term "heritage speaker" came from.
But I sure like the sound of nativoid. I have finally trained myself not
to use it too much in public.
