    That's just because of the Scottish accent.
    But you don't speak in Ghetto, so at least you're ahead of the curve.

    Shakespeare's English isn't *that* different from today's. In fact it falls under Early Modern English. Go back to Middle English, or even better, Old English, and then you see something that might as well be a completely different language altogether.

    Oh and yes at first I feared I wouldn't understand you when we talked but you have so little of the "hardcore Scottish" accent that I didn't have any problems at all.

    Speaking of elegant languages, I came across this little vocab word while researching "bai" compounds:

    自動車損害賠償責任保険
    じどうしゃそんがいばいしょうせき� �んほけん
    jidoushasongaibaishousekininhoken
    n. Mandatory vehicle liability insurance.

I've had people guess England, Australia, Ireland, America (the guy in question was American. I didn't get it either...), France, Russia, Poland, Norway... But very rarely Scotland. :'D
    Someone said you had an Aussie accent? I pity you
