I am really sorry if this has been done to death but I thought it might be fun to guess where we are from based on our pronunciation? I would have loved to have studied linguistics and I love this kind of thing. BtW the way the last thing I want is arguments or piss taking, it's just a bit of fun. To begin with (me) 'fack' for 'fuck'
