Love linguistics! that’s why I’ve been studying it

A Kenyan friend of mine said “bird” like we normally say ‘bat’… it took me few mins to find that out…

As a Texan, I’m quite proud of my non-southern accent, however talking to others with a drawl is a bit more difficult.

Oh, the stiff upper lip…
At least you don’t have a southern American accent which would probably make everything much more difficult.

Which reminds me:
Texan vs British accents joke:
A Texan walks into a UK bank and asks the clerk.
“What’s your job called?”
“I’m a clerk, sir”
“A clock? Then why don’t you make tick-tock?”
