Bobert, what you do isn't the kind of thing I'm talking about. You use a dialect (although I suspect that it may be a blend of more than one dialect, with maybe a little pure Bobert mixed in), to articulate your thoughts. And you do it quite well using that "dialect". What I'm talking about really is more like the way W. Bush is unable to clearly articulate a thought using the English language. I encountered quite a lot of that in some of the places where I've lived, and I regard that as separate problem, unrelated to dialect or accent, but certainly related to poorly qualified teachers, and a substandard education system.
