Yeah, well, my buddy used to kid us Americans about how he spoke "real" English and how we spoke something different. Of course, I had my own thoughts on that matter, but it really was like two separate languages. It was a hoot to see him try to converse with a Southerner with a heavy drawl.

>>After a while, I stopped noticing the difference, until one day I was in a Home Depot and overhead an Australian talking to a clerk there. The clerk couldn't understand him at all, but to me it was clear as a bell. For a weird moment I felt like butting in with "Pardon me, but I speak Australian" but thought the Aussie might take it wrong...
