Well, um ... I am so not sure what to say here. This is why I ask, so I
can understand. smile
And honestly, my impressions of Gordon, you guys, were listening to him
when he broadcasted on ACB Radio. His accent was so very different on
Skype than when he broadcasted. If I hadn't been so shocked, I would
have never said anything about Scottish people. lol Only God knows what
I would have come up with instead.

Quoting Gordon Smith <[email protected]>:
Hi all
Mary had the cheek, (and I still haven't quite got over it yet), to
tell me on Skype that I sounded like a Scotsman. Honestly, I've
never been so insulted in my entire life! ;-)
But no Mary, you still have quite a way to go before you understand
British English. All you understand is the way the Americans have
mutilated, violated and wilfully destroyed our language. The rights
to English have been usurped by those in power in Washington, New
York, Los Angeles or wherever the decisions are taken to mutilate the
linguistics.
I mean, you can't even spell properly, even simple words like
"colour", "Humour" "organise" "surprise", everything like that has
been utterly destroyed by the US empire, those who proclaim
themselves world leaders and yet, when the horrible clarty stuff hits
the fan, it's always them who are left in the clean white suits. ;-)
Actually though, in all seriousness, too of our best friends are
Americans and they have migrated from Miami Beach Florida where they
bought a house and stayed for all of 2 months before deciding after a
Christmas spent over here in the UK, that this was the place they
wanted to be. So be it. In the early summer their residence visas
came through and they now have taken up residence in a really nice
house about 5 minutes walk from where we live.
They have no real family left in the US and they're kind of like
adopted family to us now. Anyway I won't drone on but the point I'm
trying to make here is that at least not all Americans believe that
we brits are quaint, sad wonky people with an inferiority complex.
Now, to employ another Northern expression, it's high time for me to
"haddaway".
