Chapter 1 Excerpt

Regions and their Differences

Even though the United Kingdom is about the size of Oregon, you'll find an alarming number of different accents along the way, together with word usage that changes as you travel around.

I also help you with pronunciations of place names that Americans are renowned for mispronouncing.   How is Glasgow pronounced anyway?  

The most important piece of information however, is that the Brits don't actually call themselves Brits. They'll say they're English, Irish, Scottish/Scots or Welsh. (Scotch is a drink!). It's a bit like asking Americans and Canadians to be lumped together as North Americans.
