Example please Jac. I think this could be fun if Jac will give us some examples.

We Americans know that depending on which part of the country we are from sometimes listening to a southerner or someone from Boston is like putting a jig saw puzzle together.

ooby_dooby: Native British speakers seem to have problems with the letter T for example I've heard many Brits speak the word "better" as Be ah with nary a hint of a T, then I've heard things like "no doubt a bow tit" with a very dominant T sound. Why do you have so much trouble with the letter T?
