mogski 0 Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Not to be disrepectful to Americans but why is that most of the world has no problems understanding dialects and accents and yet people in the US only with subtitles? Kind'a generalisation I know, but I have never heard anyone from Europe complain on not being able to understand somefrom the US... Link to post Share on other sites

MistaSparkle 0 Posted July 4, 2003 Author Share Posted July 4, 2003 I've hung out with british peeps who had a tough time understanding what the americans in the group were saying at times, and vice versa... Link to post Share on other sites
Goemon 0 Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 Yeah, I've had that experience too. Alot of the times I just nod my head at British friends once they go off on their cockney rant. "uh huh...sure...oh yeah...he was 'stirring another man's porridge'???". It's nice to get back to NJ every now and again, just to let it all hang out on the dialect-tip wit da woooo wooooo! I think my British friends would have an equally hard time understanding me there, among my peeps. Link to post Share on other sites
