Now what didcha say pal ? ( Archived) (5)

Hi folks you probably rightly wonder what this thread is about right ?

It's about the English language.

English is English !!!!

Well I beg to differ on this subject.

I usually don't have a problems understanding other accents,even languages in the English speaking world.



But then again when I come across a Scotsman from Glasgow I wheel.





The same would apply to some of the Irish accents in my case.

Once I talked to a black guy from Nigeria and didn't catch on to him speaking English since I only heard guttural sounds.

I consider i.e. Australian and New Zealand English a different language, although English,since different words,idioms etc are being used.I would count the North American English a different language compared to the Queen's English.


Well if you know some funny stories about this subject or squeeze your mustard into this thread you are more that welcome.What I wrote is simply my opinion and not necessarily a fact.So let's hear it from ya.

After 2 "pardon" and a "Hmmm" and a "What", I usually just say yes..



and feel bloody silly....

What else could one say.

I got this Scottish friend who used to call me on my cell phone but I simply couldn't make out what the heck he was saying so I told him to text me from now on.So we got that one squared away.
