[PBS Poll-435]

I have difficulty understanding her. Always have.

1. You should have seen our recall Gov election here in California a few years back

Someone had the bright idea of having a one on one debate between Arianna and Arnold.

I swear we needed subtitles to figure out what they were talking about.

:rofl:

2. I never liked her on Green Acres.

I'm sure poor Eddie Albert couldn't understand her either.

5. But, Herman had no problem.

8. Wrong! That was Amy Goodman.

18. Oh please be series!

4. I think she should have her own show.

But I grew up in Central Texas, where that accent was common.

I wonder who Michael is doing, tonight.

6. Greek accents are common in Central Texas?

[TomInTib]

14. No, but German is...

I learned to speak Mexican, and I could cruise in French or (sometimes) Italian.

I grew up around all numbers of families who used German as a primary language.

And I dealt with first-generation German immigrants, every day.

Listening around Greek dialect is no altogether difficult.

15. New Braunfels

Just sayin'

16. Boerne.... and Beaumont....

and Bay City.

And the World, at large.

It is a long story.

7. Her voice being airy/wispy is my only issue

I'd either give her speech lessons or boost/filter her voice to accentuate her voice in a positive fashion.

[Kceres]

9. Her accent is so distracting that I can't watch her.

Usually accents don't bother me in the least. I get so caught up in trying to understand her that I can't follow her point.

[Stardust]

11. Her accent is lovely.

[Clio the Leo]

12. I have difficulty enjoying her voice.....

... has nothing to do with her accent. Just her voice in general.

Bless her.

[Drunken Irishman]

13. I used to, but now I can.

17. she could read to me all night long, in any language

not a problem
