Do ya'll talk funny?

Peeh-tah!

That reminds me of when i was in jr high and we had a student teacher from Scotland. Well she was teaching English, which included vocabulary and it turns out there were a number of new to us words that we learned from her. One day i noticed the student teacher, teacher, was in the back of our class observing how things were going and she started to laugh, then covered her mouth. I guess we were picking up a decent Scottish brogue from our teacher. I still pronounce some words i learned then, a little different. :laughing:

Northern California is the only place besides Canada where 'chesterfield' is a synonym for couch or sofa.

In tech school with fellas from around the country- we were having a discussion on a schematic when one of the fellas interrupted with a question about a "war". It took us the longest time to figure out that the Georgia boy was talking about "tha raid war right thar" He actually had to point to it.

So you speak Tagalog?? Write something, maybe I can translate it. I'm not very good with Hindi although I did have several Indian friends.
