You'll have no worries.... I know of several CEO Positions and one Brian Surgeon spot, that are available right now. Only qualification in all cases is that you are a FOREIGNER. In all instances, the potential employers are willing to fly you here and back home, First Class and accommodate you in a Five Star Hotel, provide you with a car and driver etc., etc, so forth and so on.

Of course it's our language that was loaned out and bastardised by others - think aliminum as aluminium is too hard for others to say. When people tell me I have an English accent, my retort is that as I'm English I don't have an accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason the British decided to change it, whilst the Americans stuck with the original name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact: Sir Humphry made a bit of a mess of naming this new element, at first spelling it alumium (this was in 1807) then changing it to aluminum, and finally settling on aluminium in 1812. ... The spelling in –um continued in occasional use in Britain for a while, though that in –ium soon predominated.Dec 16, 2000 So it was he that changed the name, not 'The British'. Apparently Americans like to keep everything simple. Edited October 27, 2016 by freebyrd incomplete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, but I have no problem understanding spoken American, in movies or TV shows, yet nearly all the English shows require subtitles for me to understand. Why is that? The English either mumble badly, have unintelligible accents, or speak with a mouth full of marbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because I find that the Americans tend to speak more clearly than the English, accent or not. I also find that Americans are far more articulate than the English.

Not every US movie is set in the places you mention, and even a movie like Fargo, where the actors speak with a Minnesotan accent, or something from the Deep South, I have no problem understanding, but hear a Cockney, Somerset or Liverpuddlian accent, and they might as well be speaking Greek.
