Country: | I forgot about Leicester. That's a good one too, and Zenith. Strange about aluminum/aluminium though. I thought we were supposed to be speaking the same language.

Country: | Maybe CC, but I always prefer the term "piss off" with an English accent. Bloody hell doesn't sound right without an English accent either.

Country: | Thankfully English (UK) isnt based on your spelling
I always use the American spellings. Theyre easier!

Country: | Now you're a tit, CC, for trying to speak in an American accent. I think the old Boston (US) accent was quite good - it was like a mix of American and English - it was odd...and I like odd.
And spelling in American, CC? What grade do you get in English?

Country: | Boston and New York sound different though. Surprisingly the U.S has a small number of local dialects for it's size - especially compared to Britain.

The south - Texan Drawl, Applichaia, south east (Georgia), Carolinas, Baltimore and Philidelphia. Even people from different parts of New Jersey sound different!
