Melanie Marie @Melanie_Marie (2448) • St. Clair, Michigan 13 Sep 23

Do you think we'd understand each other's accents if we were to meet?

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 1 Feb 17

Here in this part of the US I think we have a higher percentage of Latino and Asian immigrants. I am able to understand what Latino's are saying (in english) all the time, and for the most part the same can be said for the Asians....

Funny Enough

Amber @AmbiePam (120532) • United States 27 Feb 12

I've heard people say it before, and comedians have commented on it as well (at least American), but last night I had to admit it is true. At least for me. When I hear someone speak with an British accent, I assume they are...

I feel really bad admitting this. I just don't have a discerning ear I guess. I know my roommate, several friends and probably most other people can do this, but I can't. And I feel REALLY bad about it I can...

Jewelry...fine or chunky

CraftyCorner @CraftyCorner (5600) • United States 4 Mar 10

Do you prefer fine jewelery that is subtle in elegant grace? Or do you prefer the loud, proud, in your face clunky, chunky, can't miss it pieces that no one can miss? * I am one of the latter when it comes to necklaces. Fine...
