I don't speak American English, I speak Bronx English with that heavy Bronx accent. It's so heavy that my I phone can't understand me . I asked Siri to spell function and it said that isn't very nice, and then gave me the spelling of a sexual activity followed by it. So I don't speak very good English, just like those guy in Louisiana who have that Creole accent that no one can understand. What does this all mean? Not a damn thing except to say that I have sympathy for those immigrants who come from another country and have a hard time being understood.
What's with all those students who study Spanish (or some other language) for three years in high school and can only understand yes (Si' in Spanish) and perhaps know the correct pronunciation of a food (Tacos for those who took Spanish)? Is that a failure of the American education system? Huh, is it?
