I do, I worked with a Canadian. To be honest I thought she sounded as if her voice was breaking, apparently it wasn't.

Nice to see it still applies now, as it did then.

Hahaha I think I know what you mean there, I once met a Canadian girl with dental braces that spoke like that.

On a more serious note, I know the difference between a Southerner in the USA and Northerner accent wise but that's about it. I know that doesn't exactly sound impressive, but I also confuse Aussies and Kiwis as well. South Africans though are easy to identify.

It's an odd thing, the ear.
I struggle to understand a Belfast accent, yet find it easy to identify the localities of various American accents.
And yet, on holiday in the U.S. I was asked by an American if I was Irish?

So what happens to Dunkin Donuts? We've also been increasing our use of roundabouts... People are still getting the hang of it. And I would have agreed with the beer thing until I discovered American craft beers.

Gee, the British want to take over a country and inject their way of life into the citizens to rid of them their 'barbaric' way of lives? Why does this sound so familiar? :finger:

Is that so surprising, when the average American tourist in Europe dresses like so.

That photo looks 30-40 years old.
