My accent is nothing short of a "Hot Topic" for my new friends and neighbours. I recently met a gentleman of NOBLE British heritage (not actually noble but I thought it added something to our nationality). He was born in Iceland, raised in Texas (by his British Grandmother), and now lives in "The City". It was interesting to talk to him and here I'll share some of the reasons why;
Every now and then he spoke with a British Accent, he used words that simply aren't American such as referring to me as: Mate.
The one joy of this guy is that he is FIERCELY American. He's a Republican!! Dun-dun-der! Whenever he was addressing me though he started by grinning and proclaiming in a loud, happy voice: Hallo! (in a wonderfully Southern English accent) He thought he was poking fun, I found it to be him accepting me and embarking in some new friendships.
