Was talking about this with the boys yesterday: Why is it that the bbc and other news feeds, feel the need to subtitle people who speak English??
When I first came to Canada I had a similar problem, cuz I didn't curl my R's or punctuate with Eh every now and then, people would laugh and ask me to repeat things again. All I've ever spoken is English...jeez louise. Mind you I was accused of having a British Accent.
Other immigrants whose second language is English have it much worse. Lord help you should you speak English with an African, Indian, Carribean or Chinese accent!
My rant for the day.....Since i've finally learnt to post a video stay tune for much much more.....
