Always gotta have some fun.

I worked with an Englishman from the Isle of Man.

"England and America are two countries separated by a common language"

And I’ve always heard that people are confused about Louisiana, in that the local governmental entities called “counties” in other states, are called “parishes” in Louisiana.

Ha, ha. If you ever come across the motorcycle races from the Isle of Man on TV, stop and watch for a while. Incredible!

And they probably still have a few Manx speakers there as well.

“Youse guys talk funny.”

Tchoupitoulas Street is always good for fun. If someone can pronounce that, they probably know their way around the Big Easy.

[OpusatFR]

Very cute.

That headline was butchered. I had no idea what that meant until I read the article.

It works both ways. If you sent some Louisiana cops to New York City to handle the devastation there, you can be sure they would have a great deal of trouble with all those foreign names people have in the Big Apple.

I guess they’re not beating up little old defenseless women and taking their guns this time. Oh wait, sorry, that was the California State Troopers.

I imagine a Texan in NYC would have trouble getting directions to Houston Street if he asked the locals verbally. It works both ways.

I was once in Manhattan at an east side business on a street around 77th. Major traffic like I’ve not experienced in a long time. No cell phone with google maps. I got disoriented so I pulled up to a NYPD patrolman and ask him directions to FDR drive. He responded with a NYC accent so strong I could not understand a word he said. And I knew it would be futile to ask him to repeat himself. So I left and tried on my own. Took a turn that put me on the Long Island Expressway with out any chance of getting off. Had to pay a toll, cross the river and then head back west. Took an additional hour to get to my destination.

I don’t want to ever go to NYC again.

[Chode]

shoulda ask them to pronounce pecan...

[amihow]

Lol.
Anyone know what Lousianans mean if they;
Call you Cha
W?

Ģet the Myonaze?

Do yaall want
Wop salad?

[Olog-hai]

Manx people are not English, by definition.

And they have their own Gaelic language on top of that.

[Flick Lives]

Cute video.

Guy that works in our plant is, originally, from London.

Still has a heavy Cockney accent.

One day I said to him "You Brits have a funny way with the American language".

I can't repeat what he said, because I couldn't understand him, but he was quite emphatic about it.

[Richard Axtell]

Now, let me get this straight, “a local Louisiana Butcher names NYPD Language Cops while being ravaged by a storm?”

Maybe, “NYPD cops storm local Louisiana butcher in ravage language names?”

Ah, er, “A storm butchered local NYPD cops in ravaged Louisiana?”

This is so important, it worries me.

[Tupelo]

If you can’t speak the language, you probably should not be trying to pOlice there.
I wonder how long before this backfires.

[LeoTDB69]

Everyone chill. Through my experience Ihave noteiced that everyone else in the world has an accent...except me. :D
