And how is it that so many ESL students make pen/pin distinctions when

taught by pin/pin teachers? Perhaps even cot/caught?

And kids who keep the home phonology rather than shifting to the teacher's

model, or vice versa.

And why young speakers from St. Louis manifested a lot of ae-raising twenty

years ago but current ones don't.
