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

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?

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