Even more important, when you talk about Python or other computer stuff
to a non-English-speaker, try to emulate the accent most people around
the world are most familiar with, American English. If you find that
overwhelming, try to speak like a BBC newsreader. Your native accent can
be very difficult to understand.
You keep talking of accent.
At first I thought you were using the word figuratively or else joking.
Im now beginning to wonder if you mean it literally.
If so have you patented a new AOIP protocol?
If not do you give tuitions¹ in ESP/telepathy/Voodoo? I'll be happy to
pay<wink>

¹GG is red-lining tuitions -- heh!
I like the idea of some visitor to Scotland mentioning some speaker's
English accent. I'm not so keen on the idea of the said visitor being
introduced to the Scottish handshake.
