    I agree with GWST. Is your spoken English as good as your written English?

    Well, obviously the grammar etc must be... My pronunciation isn't that good though, as far as I've seen. I have trouble understanding the UK accent(s) too.

    To be honest Zalbor, british accents are so disparate that a lot of people have trouble understanding each other. I really have to concentrate when I'm speaking to someone with a very pronounced south-east accent because to my ears all the words roll into each other.
    Yeah, kind of like I hear it too... But I never had trouble with US accents, and even Australian ones I think.

    Likewise heavy northern accents are incomprehensible to the rest of us. Hence the phrase 'just smile and nod'.... it's got me out of a thousand awkward spots.

    Hm...

    Person: "Hey, do you think I'm ugly like everyone says?"
    Kentish smiles and nods.
    Person: "You do? Then maybe I'll just rid the world of myself... That's a nice bridge to jump from, isn't it?"
    Kentish smiles and nods.

    ...Maybe it's not that good. :p

    "I'm sorry, je ne comprende pas la northern"

    In the flat here it got to the point where we were only mutually intelligible when we were drunk. And then there is the whole lexical confusion, eg Jo saying that her dad spilt soy sauce on her pants, and we got really worried but she meant trousers, and insisted that we were all wrong!

    It is a little bit mean, Northerners are alright really, even if they do call trousers 'pants'!

    I just do not believe this! Look at the Sunday papers...

    The Mail on Sunday:

    The Sunday Times: (which really should know better)

    Doesn't anyone have any sense of perspective anymore?

    It's what people are most concerned with at the moment, the newspapers are going to print what sells.
