The strange case of Karen Butler.
Karen Butler has a British-sounding accent, but she’s never been to Europe. She woke up from dental surgery one day talking funny. A year and a half later her “foreign” accent remains, and her story has traveled around the world.
The 56-year-old tax consultant from Toledo, Ore. has found her life transformed by the dental procedure, which left her with dentures, and – depending on whom you ask – an Eastern European, Swedish or British accent.
Butler had all her top teeth and front bottom teeth removed in November 2009 because of gingivitis. A week later the swelling had gone away, but she still sounded strange. Her dentist told her she just had to get used to her new teeth.
But as weeks stretched on with no change, Butler did some online research. She diagnosed herself with Foreign Accent Syndrome, a medical condition with only a few dozen documented cases.
The syndrome is often the result of brain injury; though it is uncommon, most neurologists will see at least one case in their career, said Dr. Helmi Lutsep, professor and vice-chair of the Department of Neurology at Oregon Health & Science University. Sometimes a person just sounds slightly off; other times there may be a more dramatic-sounding accent, Lutsep said.
“We don’t know exactly how or why it happens, but it simply affects rhythm of language,” Lutsep said. “I’m absolutely convinced this is a real phenomenon. These people are not making it up.
Wow! I wonder if she will have any other concomitant complications.
It will be interesting to follow this case.

Day By Day June 2, 2011 – Bad Dogs
George Will and Andrew Sullivan jumped the shark with regards to Sarah Palin a long time ago. I wonder why the Lamestream media even consider Andrew Sullivan a pundit on the RIGHT since he has been a progressive for many years now.Sarah Palin has to convince not the media nor the GOP Establishment that she is a viable candidate. She has to persuade independent voters in key battleground states that will determine the Presidency in the Electoral College.
It is all about the polls in Ohio, Florida, New Hampshire, Virginia, North Carolina, Colorado and Nevada.
