Hence, I shall revert to the old Mark Williams, lionised in the poem: "An Englishman For All", who said that English was born in England and had its worst nappy change in America.
I always wondered, for a country that "invented" the languge (well not really but lets just say) why do you guys have such strange accents? There are certain words you just can't say right and it gets especially worse depending on location.
