b'The Nasal Tone: An Honest Tale; by Barb Tyd-Laika and Tessie Chopp Durnford; From Volume CLXVI, (166) Number 2, of Speculative Grammarian, January 2013 \\u2014 One of our favourite places for a \\u201cSpeculative-Grammarian\\u2013style\\u201d afternoon is at the home of our dear friend, Sir William Jones, XIV. At 94, he\\u2019s full of strange tales and bizarre first-person accounts of the adventure of his life, which includes migrations, linguistics, and more vodka than you can swizzle a stick at. His stories are characterized by his habit of using oddly distinct language and gesticulating wildly while ranting for hours on end. (Read by Les Strabismus.)'
