You know, there have been Brits who say Americans don't speak English. They say that they can't understand what they are saying.

I believe that.

There are many Americans that I can't understand, and I'm not just speaking of the utterly ridiculous and contrived black ebonics. Of course this asinine rap and hip-hop garbage hasn't helped one bit.

Some Americans speak English so poorly that one knows it's proof that today's grammar school education is bent on a more sinister agenda.

It's actually a little embarrassing. In Northumberland, just below the Scottish border, there are people there called Geordies. They are speaking English, but for the life of me I can't understand what they are saying.

Best example I can give you of what it was like is Brad Pitt's jabber in the movie Snatch.
