December 13, 20187 yr For a while now I have been getting the distinct impression you mob thing I talk funny. I mean dunno what ya issue is I speak perfect English. The Brits speak English, the Canadians speak English, the Americans speak English, the Scott's speak English and the Dutch, Portugese, Mexicans, Indians all speak English.... but it seems we are at times speaking in dialects all our own, well I am defo. So here is a little activity to build a translator service... I mean I bet there are dialect differences in your own countries let alone across boarders. SO I will post up 3 picks and we will say what we call them. Will let it run for a while then we will add 4, 5, 6....etc. Everyone welcome to add them at any time... just keep the numbers going .... 1........ 2............... 3...................
