I mispronounced Th quite a lot a while back, but I think I've mostly sorted that out.

It seems to me that almost any time I try to pronounce R, though, it comes out wrong. Only happens when I'm speaking English, though.

As for spelling, one that I consistently misspell is Lyb...Libya. Another one which got me until recently was aweful, which I then learned was actually spelled awful. There are probably more, but I can't think of any at the moment.

That's understandable. Half the people in your nation have a problem making pretty much every sound in your own language, even when they're not actively making up words.

Ah cain't judge, though. Bein' a Texan an' all. When it comes to grammaticality an' spelling an' all that..... well sir, we just plumb fall off the horse. 'Round here we still think "ain't" is a word. If'n ya take my meanin'.

Well, now, see, there's y'all's problem. If'n'y'all'd spend moar time in the real south, down neah Birminham or even south Gawga, then y'all'd be speakin' like a bunch o'folks oughta be speakin', steada that strange way y'all's gota turnin'a word. Now those folks down Loseyanna way... those folks' jus' plumb crazy.

Wellsir, Texas a mighty big place. I reckon we're just as much "North an' West" as we are South. Ah don't figger many Texans get as far East as Alabama, tho. Ah don't intend any ahffence, but their just plain ain't no reason to ever leave Texas. Gawd's awnest truth.

Now them lousyannans, well we got us some common ground there. Them folks r' jest plain slow.

Oi Oi Oi, what's all this about? You takin' the mick? I would post a coupla vids 'ere with some top notch Cockney, but is all the swearin' innit? They don't like it, so you'll just ahfta yootube Football Factory, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and The Firm won't ya?

Sorted.

We're both Southerners 'ere, no worries. I just come from the posher part of London which is called Kent. I can do a posh accent or I can do a cor blimey guv'nur, it all depends on what level I want to appeal to. Most people prefer a more relaxed accent to a posh one, it makes them more at ease with you I find.

Any chance that talent extends to Scottish dialects? My family hails from Scotland and I spent most of my last visit saying "what?". I could us a translator when I return, if you're available.

I do computer screens for movies, the type where the actors will go to a screen and use my fake "database" for whatever reason.

Many's the film where there's surveillance footage, and in the graphics title bar

"Ariel Surveillance"

Time and time again...

Working with a couple of screenwriters, all I can tell you is that the sound you just heard my my skull hitting the desk. I feel your pain.

I will definitely keep an eye out for that...

And to be honest either firefox or a plugin has a spell checker.... otherwise most of my posts would look like 3 year old wrote them....
