    I have a kiwi friend, and everytime he sounds mad I ask him if he wants me to 'cook hem some f***en eeggs bro?" ^_^ Needless to say he tries to end my life most times.

    Norwegians don't know the difference between v and w.

    This is what, sadly, too many Norwegians sound like:
    YouTube - this is norway

    I'm so endlessly embarassed whenever I hear a Norwegian fail at speaking English. Especially when they pronounce "Earth" as "Urt" like this guy. The soft sounds of the english language is just butchered by us stupid potato farmers. :/

    I also love how that guy in the video claims that we invented the oil. xD

    I want to crawl into the fetal position and die whenever someone says "BAG-UHLL" instead of "BAY-GUHLL".

    just thinking about it seriously

    Well, I'm from Jersey. That being said, though, I don't say "Joisey" or anything like that. I RAD-E-ATOR instead of RADE-E-ATOR. Radiator. *shrugs* Water. I say it funny, or so I'm told.

    looks like i'm the first north carolinian so here are the odd assortment of words I find funny
    Hurrican instead of hurricane
    pee-can instead of pecan (drives me batty)
    we also have some problems with the word "you" it becomes "ja ex: widja = with you, didja = did you etc. occasionally you also becomes "ya" yall = you all. poor little you, just gets mangled all over the place.

    Nope, the nut. I'm not sure if all Australians do that or if it's just me.

    Danes have some of the same problems when speaking English - except it tends to sound like we have a mouth full of potatoes.

    I never noticed you talking anything like that, Sarah! You always seemed to pronounce things okay, although obviously with your accent. Certainly never noticed anything similar to 'harses in the born'.

    A lot of peole think that when I say 'did' I say 'dead'. Americans in particular.
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!
