[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 720561, member: 1550"] Lol! We get used to how we tawwwwwk. Until I was up here in Wisconsin long enough to comfortably say "Im from Chi-cogo" (cog part rhymes with flog) I used to get teased a lot for the way I "tawwwwk." As a Midwesterner I definitely notice NY accents as different. In certain parts of the south, I have trouble understanding. And, as stated earlier, British English proounciation AND slang is challenging for me. Its all English, but it sounds different. It can sound lovely to me, but is often hard to translate for my Midwestern ear. [/QUOTE]
