"English" speakers, so I was saying I'd
need to learn all the differences. But there
are times you listen to someone using their
own "slang" & just sit there thinking "WHAT?!".
I know...like "Ebonics"...we find that difficult to understand, but it is a "language"...according to California...I'm quite proud of the little I have learned of it.
At least I understand someone who has said, "I done been HAD a job."
Don't ever visit Cork.....
