post-Potter dialect

The effect of reading a Harry Potter book all day. Then through instant messenger or verbal conversation, the reader speaks in ultra-proper english, that of fantasy book characters.

"What did you do today?"
"I called into work this morning and slept until about 4pm. Upon waking up the fever had subsided and my throat was much better."
"Cool"
"Yes, thank goodness. This week is sure to be hell anyway, glad i don't have to fair it while sick."
"Dude, lay off the potter. You've got post-Potter dialect syndrome"

dialect panic

a phenomenon that may or may not happen when a speaker of a language tries to communicate with another speaker of a different dialect.

For example, a Spanish speaker from Mexico might worry that he might have trouble communicating with the Spaniards or perhaps, when an American trying to speak with Australians.

I always have a dialect panic when I'm traveling out of USA.
