You know, I actually haven't tried bacon and milk tea. I'm just assuming I wouldn't like it. How narrowminded of me.

Hi,

From what I kin remember, adding New York in makes a diifrence.

I worked with ESL's. Our resident Jamaican, was trained in Brtish Schools.

I also got stuck in Japan, full immersion. Their American then , 1977 or do, used all Mexican and or Pilipino vowel sounds.

Only after years did I understand what some American word were.

My favorite, as it took me years to figure out, was Bee Tah Meen Shi. BeeTahMeen Shi, that is after I was stopped on the street one day by a really cute boy.

(I was warned ahead of time this would happen.)
(Everyone then used to like to practice their American, called English over there.)

He was about 5 or 7.
He stops me.
I wait.
He struggles with something.
Finally his hand waves and he says: "Hello"
He then leaves quite happy with his experience using his English on an American.

His effort and concentration took me by surprise.

LOVE,

I clean when I am nervous or upset. If my house is spotless and dusted, you can be sure something is wrong with me and I need to talk to someone.

Hi,

Oh!

BeeTahMeen Shi, was his American for, Vitamin C.

As I said, it took me years to translate, that Japanese American word to an American American word.

Accents are fascinating sometimes. I was stuck in Austin for awhile, not that stuck can ever apply to that beautified city.

Lady Bird Johnson, beautified it. That is what the locals told me.

I loved the soft Texas accent. Loved it. I'm a MishIhhGannDerr by birth and up bringing.

They Got Criks And Wuuds there, and lots of superstitions. (All of which, took years to not be afraid of. Some helped.)

In about three weeks no one had an accent anymore. I wondered why, until a brief trip home, from work, (my job was to be in Austin, until I completed an installation for the company I was working for back then) had my family asking me how I was pronouncing, my then California words.

Listening to my speech, it was Texan. In just three weeks, Aahs talkin liik a loocll onlst aah dident rilly notiss, tiil theeyd aaskd me.

Yuud, think iit'd taake loongr.

Anyway, upon leaving there, after a cowboy plane ride, fruum, Aaustin taa Daalas, I gits on this teerminal traain fiinally, and The Accent Sounded Texan, but it was not.

Roughly three years later is so, I could pronounce the words the way that recording did.

Turns out, the tape recording, was Austrailian.

"Please wahtch for your StaiihShun Iidentificaihshun Siihgn, Your StaiihShun Iidentiihficaihshun Siihgn."

Now, I can say G'day Mate the way they do.

I have an obsession with the Minions, and every time I see, walk past, or hear the word banana I say in my best attempted Minion voice: "Baaaananaaaaa!"

I love hot coffee! I mean hot! I have to place my cup in the microwave for 20 seconds after I pour it. It it doesn't burn my tongue, I have to heat it up. I love McDonalds because theirs it hot - just right. Most places serve cold coffee. I can't take it. I say to them "Why are you serving cold coffee?" They just look at me. So I take a few sips and throw it out. Sorry. Just one of my flaws (and I have many).
