Hi Braveheart
ReplyDeleteWhen I worked in England I can remember having a richt guid laugh about the differences in accent with a chap from Wigan.
He was talking about his 'career' and I thought he was talking about his 'courier'.
Eventually, after much laughter, we sorted that bit out.
He again started speaking about his 'career' but emphasised the word to the degree that I thought he was talking about 'Korea'.
Oh how we laughed. When we stopped, I told him, come the referendum (this was around 1993 BTW) that I would be voting for independence just to get away from his silly accent.

ReplyDeleteI wouldn't worry.
It's a nest on cybernats. Maybe interesting to dip in and out of, but no point in trying actual debate.
You'll get little civility and no sense from them.
