Imagine , if you will, two unsuccessful anglers: A: Caught owt? B: Nowt. Her indoors is Dublin born and bred; she maintains that the Irish render English in its purest form. That said, you would have no difficulty conversing with the average Brit. Stick around here long enough and you'll soon be fluent enough to pass for a local. Dick-eye chavvy, me old china.[/quote] When I hear English from Scotland, England, or Ireland, it sounds more the way I imagine a language should sound. I find American English to be far too bland.

However, I still have never had the opportunity to go to England, Scotland, or even Northern Ireland yet. If things turn out as they should, that will happen some day, but not anytime soon. I've also been to Holland twice, Belgium once and Germany once. I had meant to visit England already by now, but lately things have not been working out very well for me.
