Thread Name: BS: Are you a sh-sher?
Subject: RE: BS: Are you a sh-sher?
Brits always have t when it is written t. Almost all (possibly all, but I wouldn't want to be so encompasing) American dialects have a d except before stressed syllables (po TAY do) and except in borrowed words (Beathoven). It's so interesting, studying linguistics in the US and now studying linguistics in Scotland. This thread is right up my alley.
