Americans

[scooterscot]

Off to my favourite pizza / iTalian restaurant tonight for a takeaway. Whilst waiting an American couple got chatting with me.

So your from... 'his brow appeared tempered, with a slight perspiration glinting in the moody yet buzzing Friday night restaurant light. His lady friend abide looked on with very white teeth on display and a constipated appearance as she waited for her partner's question to be received'.... Ireland.

I said NO!! What is it with Americans who can't tell the difference between a Scottish & Irish accent. So I explained to them how to tell an Irish accent. I says to them in the future ask the person 'What is the answer to 100 / 3' to which I replied '33.3' and an Irish person would say: Thirrty Tree and n turd.

All was then understood.

So Irish people are smarter? I'm not sure that's true.

Also, why can they pronounce the "th" in thirty but not in three or third?

Yep we get that with the 3 filthy dog-owners around here

and we end up with a dirty tree and a turd

American/Irish/Scotch - isn't it all just a lot of people who can't quite speak English?

I struggle to tell the difference between them too, at times, as well as between these accents and several northern ones. If you're not accustomed to them it's easier to confuse them.

It's pretty funny to hear people confuse mine for an Aussie or Kiwi accent, too.

My Dad still has a strong Canadian accent, despite living here for over 30 years.

We went to Florida when I was a kid and people kept asking if he were Irish.
