Gordon ~ You poor deluded fool ~ I feel almost sorry for you

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.

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.

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.

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.
