Bah, who cares!?!
If they are gonna call me an ignorant, arrogant, American asshole, I might as well act like one. Who gives a fuck what they want or where it came from?

My husband came here from Hungary and passed his highschool English class with an A without speaking fluently. Only in America.

Neither do I
I cannot understand a lot of people from Scotland- remember my motorbike test? I decided it would have been better if it had been conducted in French, since that country is nearer!

I have a hard enough time figuring out what Gail says on the Skype most times. You are very easy to understand but I did have a hard time with Mark. He mumbles and is a bit of a low talker. Matt had no problem. Must be my Brooklyn accent getting in the way!

Well it could be worse Twitch. You could have that annoying Flushing, Queens half nasal drawn out putting R's where they don't belong accent.
I generally have no problems with all but the southern I am too lazy to move my lips as I speak mush-mouth accent. Occasionally I find a heavy Welsh accent a bit tough but that's about it.
Oh yeah.....sometimes the "ghetto fabulous" ebonics stymie me as well.
Hell.......I've heard Ozzy Osbourne drunk and understood everything he said!

I for one am very tired of pressing 1 for English.
I'm not going to go learn Spanish or Vietnamese just to accommodate you lazy shits. Learning to speak English was good enough for those who immigrated here before you so get off your lazy asses and do the same!
