[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked in London for close to decade. In general, people are lovely but I know what you mean about snide remarks. "Schedule?. Oh you mean the "Shed-yool" (British pronunication). They speak English and I speak American and all that.[/quote] OMG, I get that all. the.time. Except I live in the US with a British accent. Clearly Americans are guilty of patronizing corrections every f-ing day! Love living here but jeez, if only people could make the jump occasionally to understand a word not pronounced exactly as they expect it.[/quote] Yes I get this too (another Brit in US). Worst is when Americans seem to really not understand the word the way I'm saying it. This happens frequently with "water". Eventually I say it in an American accent but I always think people will think I'm mocking them when I do that! Can't win![/quote]
