I have seen movies where the British English was so different from the norm--I think it might have been Cockney--that I could hardly even get the gist of it. In other words, I definitely couldn't decipher it! But if the Brits speak standard British English (BBC English, or the Queen's English, or whatever it's called) I have no problems at all, and you probably wouldn't, either. You just have to get used to it. Same goes for some American dialects like the Creole you mentioned, as well as some Australian ones. -------Original Message------- On a spectrum they may be different to me but I could see how I can't stomach Shakespearean English and what I mean is I can't decipher it. ~KLM \\ "Antisocial behavior is a trait of intelligence in a world full of conformists" ~Nikola Tesla // "hard to decipher" is not the same as "can't stomach". |
