Do you Brits cringe when we talk?
Didn't mean to get too far off topic but I'm curious.

I've become convinced that Americans can't perceive individual accents at all, just broad strokes. Since moving out here, every last one of my new family who has tried imitating my accent has come out with a British one, which sounds nothing at all like my broad Australian accent.

... Which I am apparently losing, bit by bit. Tongue

Hell, Luckie can't even understand a lot of Scottish or northern English accents. I basically have to turn a subtitle track on to watch Doctor Who. Big Grin
