I don't know about others, and I can't say about "irritated", but notice? Definitely. It makes y'all sound so...I dunno... British.

And I absolutely do not blame the Yanks for that one - we've growed it all ourselves. At least it is one where the process is readily apparent and to a limited extent understandable.

Oh, about that ITM thing. I do like it, but I don't play it. I don't yet have the speed and precision to play the dance tunes, but in any case, slow airs are my preference, and I'll play or improvise any song [muahahahahaaaaa] I feel like playing at the moment and in any style I want. I have no self discipline and am quite impulsive. Since I play by myself and for myself, that works.
