Thanks. How inspiring.
interesting, indeed. But the thick british dialect of the narrator... brrr. ;D
@Frank, a proper cockney geezer!
;D
I find it funny. During my average day, I speak english most of the time. Not my mother tongue though. So I get to speak with people from all over Europe, the UK (not really Europe, no €€), and the US. Of all nations that speak english as their primary or secondary language, I find the british hardest to understand. Really :)
This is true. The British Isles are not that large geographically. But travel 50 miles, and the way the language is spoken can change dramatically.
the geordie now thats hard to understand
this one made me giggle....not far from my home patch (Bristol)

That's because the rest of you are striving towards a version of English which has been averaged out, slowed down, made easier to understand, and is less true to the original dialects which together form the true English language ;)
Matt, you should hear someone from Brooklyn NY. They speak very fast, with all sorts of terms no one else would use. Sort of like your cockney accents from London.

... and that is sooo true, I can't agree more. I applaud that you consent this is a positive development actually ;)
LOL

believe me, your spelling IS easy. And what the heck do you want with more vowels, if you want to make spelling easier? Sound like Tarzan maybe? ;D ;D ;D
I seem to recall he used a lot of vowels, like 500 of them concatenated after one another ;D
Well, America may be converting to Chinese characters in the future. :D
Thanks for that video inky, Moe Norman was one of our best national treasures that most Canadians know well.
