I'm not sure if that was a typo or not, but it's amusing. I must use that at Welsh people. I'm not sure about this, but the UK, and specifically England seems to be unique in coming up with strange names for it's accents. Scouse, Cockney, Brummie, Geordie, Manc, and so forth. And yeah, the last one is pretty easy to guess. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Grokca: [qb] your ethnic background very seldom shows in your voice past the second generation. [/qb][/QUOTE]Er, accents aren't genetic, y'know. Accents are picked up from listening to other people. For some people, they get their accent from their parents (or those they learn to talk around), and never change. Others change their accents if they move. Jane Leaves (Daphne from Frasier) now has a strange Manchester/Cockney/American hybrid accent when she talks, whereas Patrick Stewart still has that Royal Shakespear Company pronounciation.
