Hrm, just a quick note... There are a lot of people that say english people have a clearer and better accent than yankees.

Bullshit, imho. First of all, it all depends on where the brit or the yankee you're talkin to is from, they all have very different accents and slangs....

By the way, quite everyone who knows me (and I'm talkin' about american ones) says my accent is something in between Boston one, Canadian one (Toronto one, in particular), all mixed up with a little texan and southeners' one

That is, almost any damn italian I talk to can't understand almost a single word I say (on the other hand, yankees and canuks tend to understand me quite well )

Oh, and, btw, korn's right, brits, and london ones in particular, tend to act like complete morons, just like French people usually do (well, at least the ones living around Paris )...

Have you ever heard Australians speaking?? I have some Aussie friends and their English is terrible!! And the worst fact is that they are not Aussie by birth, they are English!! At least, they don't complain about my English at all :-D

Hehe, yeah, but I can assure you that New Zealand ones are even worse

Well, not entirely true, P.Jackson has quite a clear accent... But, still....

don't worry, lightman is doing the "sborone", we'll try to be more clear and use a little less slang.

Then stop using shortcuts!

Hrm, yeah. "btw" is an acronym, just like "imho" (In My Humble Opinion) that's used a lot in irc....

But... "ain't" ("am not") or I'm, or "wanna" ("want to") or the like, are commonly used and accepted. And, should someone really want to learn (and use) english then he/she/it (

) should at least recognize them...

And, by the way, it only takes a couple of seconds to ask

I hope nobody feels offended by it, but i really hate yankee accent, ya know
