That reminds me of a character in one of the old Dr. Who series. I thought this character had some sort of speach impediment. After a few episodes I caught a few cultural allusions made by the character and it finally dawned on me the the character was supposed to be an _American_. I assume that when I try to speak with a British accent I sound just as bad to a Brit. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!
