Let's check in with our Tri-City Influencers sponsor. You can have me translate BBC shows, if you need me.Īwesome. Tri-City Influence listeners, if you need a translator, you've got Kyle on your side. So, I guess that's my expense superpower as a result of living in the US.Īll right. And a lot of other people need subtitles.
I probably am not the greatest at it anymore.īut, the plus side though, Paul, is I can watch a lot of stuff from the BBC and have no problem understanding what they're saying. Watch Outlander, if you want more Scottish accents. But, Scotland and it was very specific and it's a wonderful broke. And the town they lived in was called Otter Box in Scotland. They lived in Fife, which is where we lived. I don't know if you remember the song, and I would walk 500 miles? And so, I can usually do a pretty good Scottish accent, not always on a command. You have some to talk about the library on your accent. Until, kind of feeling like a stranger in both places, after basically going through acculturation and socialization and Scotland made me, so that I was no longer an American.īut, it really again, formed a lot of my wife experience a kid, good and bad, honestly.Īnd probably, funded a good therapist for couples. And then, I was a stranger in my own land. And, for me, as a child, it was a very formative experience because I was a stranger in a strange land. So, everyone, when I came back, including at school, thought I was actually Scottish, no one believed that I was an American. I even have forgotten some American history and basic American stuff. I only need metric because I have been single for so long over there.
But, then, we came back from Scotland, I had a very thick Scottish accent. I think, there's a lot of fun in the UK of reminding someone to yank. We were reminded constantly that we were Americans in a very negative way. At that time, you had basically grad students and their families, and Air Force officers and their families that were stationed to the RF base. We were Americans, there were very few Americans in St. To Scotland where I was also a fairly small child. So, I moved from Western Washington as a fairly small child. Yeah, so I spent a couple years of my childhood in Scotland. And when I asked something quirky or interesting about Kyle, he told me about Scotland, and that's where he spent some of his childhood, but it made a conflict in his childhood. Kyle is the Executive Director and Chief Librarian of the Mid-Columbia Libraries. Thanks for joining me today for our episode with Kyle Cox.
