I know what you mean Doog ;D
I have had people turn my name into various sounds depending on where they are from. Its craig with the A being said as an A by my family and most. An old friends dad was welsh and he would pronounce it greg so i just learned to answer to that rather than constantly correct him:) and i noticed alot of americans go with creg. ???

LOL Creg. :D

I forgot to mention that my full name is Douglas. Some jokers pronounce it Dugglarse (or Dooglarse). :o ;D

Don't get me started on the different variations of my surname. ;)

Having learnt Hungarian which is a phonetic language I find it easier to write accented speech...

We don't have C-130s...


Well then, I don't know what kind of aircraft they normally used, but they were training with our Air National Guard C-130 crews.

And than there is also:

Henglish or Hinglish (whatever you prefer)


Henglish is what people might understand as young people english. this is probably what Hagar meant. Now let's write a piece:

The following comes from: Tha Gospel according to ALI G

First about Phyzics:

Helectricity:

Me learned in phyzics dat helectricity makes people generous. All us iz got to do iz put da 2 wires onto someones balls  and dey will hand over dere dinner money.

Nuclear:

if u ever come into contact wiv a nuclear bomb and has to dismantle it Never ever ever ever ever hever cut the red wire- dis will set it off-go for the blue one first , and if that don't work den go for de red one.

this is one of the clearer pieces ;D

Well Doug I shall be there when the airshow season starts and will let all you folks on the island know I am coming. ;D

If I might I would like to go back to morse code for a second.

During the war especially in the Pacific Theater when morse code was used it must have been very difficult for the Allies as when one taps out a message he would tap it the way he would say it.

Continued from above:

But would not an AWACS Crew be fluent in English?

I would think it would have to be as English is the Universal Language for Aviation.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
