The Wonderful English Language

[Hagar]

The strange thing is that I can understand most American regional variations on our language with no trouble. I find local dialects in some parts of the UK (where I've lived all my life) almost unintelligible. They might as well be speaking a foreign language. How a stranger could understand them defeats me.
