I came across this announcement when I was doing my daily Jane Austen blogosphere reading, and it sounds truly delightful to me!
October 30th
To celebrate the 299th anniversary of the publication of
Sense and Sensibility, Jane's first novel in print
Go for a long walk, visit friends, and Talk Like Jane Austen
This page has much information on exactly how you can speak as Jane would have. For example, never use contractions, such as "isn't" -- it would be "is not." There's even a link to Doctor Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language!
I think I'm going to have fun with this! Perhaps have a tea, or some such thing.
Do take a look! It will only take a few moments.
