All those that have americanised spelling possibilities. I don't know what they are until someone points them out to me as to me I am spelling them normally.

I can't remember which ones I say strangely as I only really notice when someone points them out. The one most people think is odd and comment most on though is the way I say only. Instead of saying ownly I sort of slur it and say ounly. It is difficult to demonstrate without the possibility of speech.

Australians use rising intonation making everything sound like a question. Can't say I've noticed it with Yanks

Used to drive my parents mental. Even now I have a bad habit of picking up accents and using them, I suppose it is a leftover from trying to fit in when we moved around a lot when I was little. When I was at Uni and one of my best mates was from Sheffield I started sounding like a northerner. eeek:

Sheffield accent is unique and those from Sheffield will tell you they are Northerners but in reality they are in the Midlands. I was married to one of them for 21 years. eveilgrin:

Perhaps we should try to help poor Gordon and suggest which fictional characters he is actually like.

Granted it isnt quite the same league of literature but l always thought he reminded me  of the pointy haired manager in the Dilbert strips.
