...and god knows why but nobody seems to believe we actually speak English here
This year one of my teachers told us a story. She is half Spanish and half Australian, and obviously, she speaks English perfectly well. She told us that one day, she was in London, with some friends, and they needed to ask something to someone. That someone was a Scottish. And nobody could understand what he said!!! They thought he was German! :p |

it needs to be siad aloud in canadian:
Some explorers are arguing over who gets to name this wonderful new land they have stumbled on.
Eventually they decide that each should draw a letter out of a hat at random.
First guy: C eh
Second: N eh
Third: D eh
Fourth: Sounds good to me.
lame joke at its finest. |
