I totally hate it when people try to imitate the Baltimore accent. They never do it right, they always exaggerate it and are not understandable at all. We're really not that freaking hard to understand. Only old people say Balmer instead of Baltimore.

huh? you're here as well, PPSCoolGirl?

you won't believe what it sounds like in Limburg (the province where I live) sometimes. I don't speak Limburgian myself, but the way they rename names of villages here...
Hoensbroek --> Gebrook
Heerlen --> Heële
Susteren --> Zöstere
Einighausen --> Einekoeze
Elsloo --> Aelse

You won't understand a thing of what I'm saying, but you see the difference when it's written down.
And then there's Limburgian people who try to speak dutch. They DO grind me gears because they don't often know that they're using Limburgian logic.
I heard a (Limburgian) friend of mine say to someone 'Put you' instead of 'have a seat'. This obviously is a translation, but when Limburgian says this to a person from what we call "Holland" (we call the north of the Netherlands Holland) he won't understand a thing.
What my friend literally said was "Zet je" and what he had to say was "Ga zitten". Completely different, as you can see .

So... It grinds my gears that people who talk in a dialect (and I don't mean an accent) don't realise what is their dialect and what is in fact their real language...

Isn't Limburger a cheese?

Isn't it the other way round? That Limburg got its name from the cheese that happened to be residing in that particular area?
