Thread Name: BS: Favourite Accent
Subject: RE: BS: Favourite Accent
Irish, in English. I probably like the Scottish burr but can't understand it.

Mom, when asked where her accent came from, said it came from trying o speak English.

Also a mom story: once I had to repeat what an Australian said so Mom could undertand him and repeat what Mom said so that the Aussie could understand Mom. The two were trying to flirt and absolutely could not understand each other's English. It was a riot. Lunch in France.
