Egads, the memories come flooding back, after having taken the ferry from
heck from Sweden across the North Sea in June and then arriving, cursing,
wet and sick, only to find the train to London is filled with people who
you
think are speaking English but you are not really sure. Wonderful
memories - and thank goodness they are only memories now.

||| You really should get out more.. there are variations of English
||| spoken all over the world.. US and Aussie English are accepted
||| variations of the basic language with their own grammar, spelling,
||| and terminology.. they have their own dictionaries, and do not rely
||| on the bastion of all English dictionaries, The Oxford English
||| Dictionary..
|||
|||
http://www.geocities.com/Broadway/1906/dialects.html .. US English
||| dialects across the states
|||
|||
http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/collections/dialects/.. one or two
||| recordings of Brit dialects
|||
|||
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_English.. here, you will see
||| that there is English English, Scottish English and Welsh English
|||
|||
http://www.ku.edu/~idea/.. recordings of English speakers from all
||| over
|||
|||
||| The only country where English English is spoken is England, and I
||| know of a good few regions where you would not understand a word
||| said by locals.. towns and cities just five miles apart can have
||| stunning differences in the way people talk, and you would wonder
||| how they co-exist in such a small area..
