You Might Be a Period Drama Nut If...

{in no particular order}

... every time you read the "tsp" abbreviation in a recipe you substitute "The Scarlet Pimpernel" in your head instead of "teaspoon" .

... you look at Austin, TX on a map and automatically think "WHY must people always misspell her name? WHY?" and then laugh at yourself.

... you use "Lydia-snort" instead of LOL.

... you would rather vacation in England than the Caribbean.

... you see a picture of Alun Armstrong, you think Charles Dickens.

... you use Mr. Knightley's ERMMMMM to vent frustration.

... you know the difference between a pelisse and a spencer.

... if someone asks you if you play an instrument, you respond that if you had ever learnt, you should certainly have been a true proficient.  And so would Anne, if her health permitted.

... you know what "The Look" means.

... you make remarks about twenty pounds of brown sugar when you go grocery shopping.

... you always have to remind yourself that the NA in JASNA (Jane Austen Society of North America) stand for North America and not Northanger Abbey.

... you follow up any "that was silly" with an "I'm not saying she was very silly, but one of us was silly, and it wasn't me."

... you shove toast crusts at your siblings with a stern, "Take it.  EAT it."

... you know that the source of the Nile is in Abyssinia.
