what was asked when he talked about Argentina?

[Stuka]

Just seen it, very cringeworthy

BBC says it's a psychological phenomenon caled "speech accommodation" where people change accent to fit context. It is often a subconscious attempt to be friendly.

Why didn't he just go the whole hog and turn up wearing a Beret with some Onions around his neck?

I find myself doing this a lot, changing my intonation when speaking English to foreigners
.... And I include Americans in that!

Its a perfectly natural thing to do when people are struggling with your accent

Bollocks to that. No way am I changing the way I speak to suit the locals down here. There will be no raised intonation at the end of a sentence, no arvos, no no worries. What they do get is references to chicken arseburners resulting in an arse like a Japanese flag. Going out to get completely cunted or wankered. And I do ask for courgettes, peppers and aubergines while steadfastly refusing to capitulate to the likes of zucchini, capsicum and eggplant. Plus keeping honest to words like data (not dar-ta) and yoghurt (not yoe-gert).

You're my hero.

Bit of a non story really, we have probably all done it on holiday at some point.

Saying that, I would f***ing love to hear a Frenchman try to talk to our journalists in French but with an exaggerated cockney accent!

I do it all the time, even when I'm with friends in areas with regional accents like Wigan or Birmingham

[ZacNaloen]

I think I do it too, don't really pay attention to how I sound tbh

[Stuka]

I think I've done it before with a friend from the Czech Republic. Don't ask me how that sounds

[Pepe the Horseman]

Had to do it in the St8s cos they couldn't understand me otherwise. They couldn't understand 'water' and when I asked for a diet coke they thought I was saying Dr Pepper

Was in a NY hospital earlier this year. Your man on the front desk literally could not understand me and I had to write down my name and address for him on arrival. F**k putting on a yank accent!!

To Barton's credit* he did tweet yesterday morning "Good Moaning" while the world was LoLling at him

*never thought I'd say that

Good luck with avoiding the raised intonation - bloody impossible after a while not to pick it up, same with 'no worries' - With you on most of the rest of it though

[Compo's Hat]

He's been very hit and miss in the few games so far he's played for Marseille.

Currently spitting the dummy on twitter over this piece by some fatcunt in the Daily Mail http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... amuel.html

tbh I'm not sure if Joey deserves a whoosh or if Samuel needs a kicking - it doesn't read very well anyway.

It's quite unnerving in the states when you know you are talking English but pcunt can understand you.
