the English' way of speaking...
...doesnt make sense at all. i thought it was the yanks that pronounced their words oddly
one example.... the word Dancer and then the word Cancer...
we say 'cancer' the same way the US say 'dancer', which is the right way, and why arent they both pronounced the same but with a different initial?
anyone?

some one once told me what it is to be English:
Go to work wearing your Italian suite driving your German, Japanese or French car, grab an American coffee in the morning and maybe a Danish pastry or croissant for breakfast, leave work to a have a few drinks with your collegues in a Australian bar drinking Belgium beer, get an Indian takeaway on the way home to relax on your Swedish sofa in front of your Japanese TV.
