I think it is really the Brits’ fault for not using the proper, American spelling of tire.

I have a British friend with a heavy accent whom I sometimes have difficulty understanding. I was thinking once, “I wish he’d just speak English.” Then I realized, “He IS speaking English. I’m the one who isn’t.”

[the long march]

There are sections of England up towards Newcastle where the accent and the speech itself are so difficult to understand it is amazing that anyone from outside goes there. The Geordie dialect puts the Cajuns to shame
