I LOVE the accent. I spent a week in Aberdeen once on business. When someone would say something to me, my brain would take about 2 seconds to decipher it, then I could answer. They probably all thought that I was a retard. The chicks, man-o-man... A 7 with the accent is at least an 8.5.

I can tell if anyone is from any further from CA than NV, AZ, ID or the PNW.
Didn't you mention once that you'd done a big report or research or something like that in college on languages? I want to say, you mentioned it in a thread about the Geico Gecko's accents.

I was never interested in languages when I was a youngster. Now I'm fascinated by them and would love to learn a few. It would be really neat to have an ear that could pick up the subtle nuances of dialect like that.
