I’ve met plenty of Swedes and Germans, Vietnamese and Cambodians and Malaysians who speak English like they came from Iowa. No accent, or only a very slight one.

Agent Olivia Dunham on Fox’s “Fringe” is an Australian actress who has mastered “American English” for her role.

So why can’t Hitch, Kissinger, and Amanpour do it?

Answer: They can but it’s not fashionable.

“So why can’t Hitch...do it?”

Your women dig our accent (if not our teeth :o).

Amanpour is the worst. . .that said. .

I love English accents. And why pick on Kissinger; when Ahhnold cannot pronounce - 'by our ear' - the State he is Governor of; or his own name for that matter?

Most accents are charming; some are tiresome if too heavy. But hey; they are at least speaking a 'second' if not third or fourth. . .language.

Meantime; am amazed at what we do; without an 'accent'. For instance. . .what we hear when words like nuclear and alzheimers are articulated. . .and there are plenty more. . .
