Dueling dialects

[James Harbeck]

As it happens, I grew up in Alberta used to the way the neighbour
says it. This Wednesday is Wednesday this week; next Wednesday is
Wednesday next week. I'm not sure if that was mainly local influence
or if it came from my parents, who are from the Buffalo area.
Whatever the case, it didn't seem to hold in Boston and it doesn't
seem to hold in Toronto, so now I've gotten to doing it Jerry's way.
