You Say POTATO; A Book About Accents.

" Some people say sconn, whle others say scohn. He says bath, while she says bahth. You say potayto.I say potahto.
 And- 
-wait a second, no one says potahto.No one´s ever said potahto. Have they?"

This is a book about accents that I recomended to all of you. This book has been written by both English writers: Ben Crystal & David Crystal.
My friend, Martin, get me this book this summer in London. I particulary like because , how I have said, it´s about accents, and I find it really interesting. So I encourage you to read it.
