Who has the accent??? I remember when my brother went into a MacDonalds in Chicago just to order a coke and hamburger and they had to asked him to repeat it a couple of times...really it could not be that different from how it is said up North. Often people just like to hear us speak and want us to repeat. This happen to Marion when she visited the U.S. in June. My friends kept asking her more and more questions because they just liked hearing her English accent. It was quaint.

Living in Turkey is a lot like being from the South and traveling North of the Mason/Dixon line. People are constantly asking me, "Ah, what did you say? I didn't understand your accent." I'm thinking, "I have an accent?"<br />

I was doing a radio interview one time with two lovely ladies from the North. I finally told them that if they promised to talk slower, I promised to talk faster. Holy Moly!<br />

I also had to tell them that when I say I need to get on with my "rat killing," its just a figure of speech. I don't REALLY have rats, I just had business I needed to attend to.

I once said that I was homeless, when I meant to say I was single, 'cos I got the grammar mixed up! Anyway, better than a friend of mine who, when in Uzbekistan, went into the pastry shop and apparently asked for them to give her a c-section!
