sadi ranson-polizzotti - tant mieux articles - voices carry | the tone of sylvia plath

A voice conveys so much about a person. I know as an immigrant, both the plus and the minus of this and I know that when I first came to the states, I would have done anything to get rid of an accent that brought me nothing but mostly grief, save for the occasional comment (that I still get) that it's "cute" a word that exists in American, but not in English. In England, we don't do cute, alas, and so this never connoted anything good.
