Thanks mate. [img]smile.gif[/img] So I've heard.

As a singer over the years I actually worked on developing phrasing that incorporated my Australian/English accent into the contempory American phrasing that so dominates English Language music.

Now I'm in America doing some American vocal sessions, I am actually asked to put in some Americanisms at times. Especially if impersonating a US star of course. Cahn't (can't) becomes cian't, fahstah (faster) becomes fiaster for example.

It's an interesting thig, because everwhere in the world outside the US and Canada, to speak perfect English is to sound English. Well spoken persons from India, Australia, New Zealand or England will gravitate towards a common sound.

However perfectly spoken American (say Lawrence Fishburn? -Morpheous from the Matrix) will sound very different by nature of the 'R's alone. We should almost begin calling 'American English', simply 'American'. A seperate dialect.

It's finally begun to melt, but just last week, there were places in the city where simply WALKING could be classified as suicide, and riding a bike was out of the question *thinks of a certain ice-covered hill on the way to piano lesson...*

Ice on roads is not good!
