A Georgia born boy learning a Boston Irish accent? It would be my first miracle.

Just practice saying "We could pahk the cahr in the Hahvahd Yahd."

We don't do well with rapid-speak either.

That's cause you think words like "here" are two syllables. On the other hand, I can say "pirates" or "flowers" as one syllable.

Why is "monosyllabic" five syllables? Hmmmmm....
