I have lived in three different countries and... (archive)

traveled to many others in my time. How many people do you know who have never even been outside their home state/province? Believe me, I am in tune with subtle differences in a range of cultures and dialects. Within 10 minutes of meeting (and speaking with) someone from outside the US, I can tell what country, region, city, and usually, even what part of the city they grew up in. A London accent is like night and day compared to a Liverpool accent, which is completely different from a Birmingham accent. And then, the London East and West Enders are a world apart, and Southerners are different still. How many folks can't even tell the difference from an Irishman, a Scot and an Englishman? I take pride in my etymological prowess, thank you. Have I ever tried crossing the tracks in my own town? *Laugh* Have you ventured outside your own backyard Mr. Cosmopolite?

Cheers.
