Regarding word games ...

Some studies are indicating that language facility (and especially multi-lingualism) may help delay the onset of dementia.

Seems a good thing, ne' pas? Lang lebe das Geriatric Forum.

The thing I like about Australians Robbie is that they speak English without an accent. Pommies and Yanks have a pretty broad accent but you Scots sound like your speaking another language. Can't understand a word you're saying. Next time you hear an Aussie speak listen to how clear and unaccented it is.

You didn't take your meds did you? Aussies don't have an accent? That's just crazy eh?

I speak to Aussies every day and I can distinguish absolutely no accent. If I speak to a Pommie or a Scotsman I can distinguish a very strong accent.

OK one of two reasons for that. 1) you sound like they do or 2) you're deaf.

I know you fly the Aussie flag so I'm going with #1. 😉

Hey....you're probably right. I just thought us Aussies spoke without an accent. Good point. Never thought of that.
