Oh, I took it that I was being kidded about having over 'splained the joke aready.

Yes, my impediment, known as White-A'ight Syndrome, is not yet recognised by the medical establishment, but is widely known among people who can say a'ight and sound like themselves. I also would have trouble singing Different Drum, since to be accurate I would have to substitute "you and I travel to the beats of different drummers" and the song "Whiter Shade" of Pale, to me, would be Tint of Pale. The Marshall Tucker band song Heard It In A Love-Song has the line "I guess I always will" after which I compulsively must add the word "be".

It's just a bit of fun, like teaching non-Minnesotans how to translate "casserole" ("hot-dish") or trying to explain an American biscuit to a Brit, or a moon-pie to anyone (it's like a southern crepe). Garden Party is perfect! I'm just having trouble doing it without laughing myself.
