What language are you speaking".......... like Yanks have an accent, Pffffft!

I get stuck enough with the different versions of English

Of course Yanks have an "accent".

There's only one true English: that spoken at Oxford and Cambridge. The rest of us mutter various forms of pidgin.

Of course Yanks have an "accent".
Just compare the way they say Aluminium to the way 180+ other countries say it.

Because in Amerika it spelt AlumINUM and that's because it consists of AluMINA!!!!! Silly gooses!

I thought it was aluminiminimum?

 

[Lucky13]

Are you sure that isn't alūmen....either way, it was discovered by a Dane in 18....25?

 

[Marcel]

I think it's Aluhat and it was invented last year

 

[Wurger]

I would say that's the amilinium and that is not suitable for painting.

Accents, nah! Just envision a conversation between a deep south Alabamaian/Georgian and a Bostonian. Fun to hear. WHAT???

 

[special ed]

I worked in a New Orleans hardware store just after USAF active duty and a college student came in and asked, "Do you have any kaadbud kaatins?" After I said "what?" three times he said pasteboard boxes.

You mean like when someone from Boston says Khakis, you should know they mean "car keys"?

Maybe it's only funny for Dutchman, but in WW2 a Spitfire pilot made a crashlanding in the Netherlands, for exactly Brabant

After a while he opens his eyes, somekinda dizzy and saw a man and a little child

The child said to his father "Wa a wang wah fa"


The pilot was really out of the world and thought he was landed somewhere in China
but the child only said to his father "Wat een wang he, vader? " (what a cheek, right, dad?)

The pilot was apperently wounded in hs face

 

[BertUS]

But I just wondering

How is it possible that in a few days my introduction will ended in how to spell Aluminium?

 

[Marcel]

Just like Churchill and Dutch premier Gebrandy:

Churchill: "Spring is in the air"
Gebrandy:"Why should I?"

Springen is the Dutch verb for jumping so he thought Churchill wanted him to make a high jump

Yeah, you know also the joke about "de paardenfokker"

Of course

 

[SaparotRob]

I haven't and would like to hear it.

 

[Marcel]

I haven't and would like to hear it.

An Englishman asks a Dutchman:" what is your job?"

Dutchman: "I fok horses" (fok=breed)

Englishman: " Pardon"

Dutchman: "Ja paarden" ( =Yes horses)
