C'mon, Paul, don't forget how difficult English can be as a second language. I come from the Left Coast and currently live in the midwest and the people here claim to speak English but I have my doubts sometimes.

I think the girl in this lesson did very well. She has worked really hard to get around her accent.

KDP--I too admired her English and accent. I was just goofing on the contrived scenario of the house that was the quintessence of filthiness.

I was sort of expecting "dirty house" to be another euphemism for house of ill repute.

That's all very well, but how do you say, "My hovercraft is full of eels?"
