“Accents (regional and foreign) do funny things with the English language. “

There’s a large family of Chinese at a local market who learned to speak English with a heavy southern drawl.

Combined with the residual Chinese inflections it causes me to snicker every time I hear it.

I remember well a very beautiful Chinese girl that worked at a Chinese Restaurant in Tupelo, Miss that sounded more hillbilly than I do. What a shocker that was the first time I heard her.
